Your Kid’s Progress

Engagement Summary

This engagement gathered feedback to help guide the development of the reporting approach for students in kindergarten to Grade 9, with the goal of ensuring that parents are well informed about their children, and their children’s progress, as B.C.’s curriculum is enhanced.
