Guidelines for Parents
At the end of each school year, a report on curriculum progress, social development and general comments is completed. The report is sent to the parents at the end of the school year. A copy of all reports, signed by the class teacher and Principal is retained in the school.
Drumcondra Reading Tests and Mathematics Tests are also undertaken each year. Teachers continually make informal assessments on pupils and other forms of assessment can include weekly spelling tests, table tests, etc.
