Tip of the Week from your Deputy Principal

04.04.18

Last week, the tip of the week was all about the College app, Skoolbag and how it is used to communicate with families on a weekly basis.

This tip of the week will focus on Student learning, reports and timetables. I will explain how to access information regarding your child’s learning, their reports and timetables for Year 8-12 students.

 

ACCESSING PAM

As parents/caregivers, we are always eager to be up to date with the learning progress of our children. The Parent Access module (PAM) has the wonderful functionality to keep families informed of each child’s learning progress through the course of the term and semester. Every family has access to a PAM account which can be opened from the Tenison Woods College Website or by just entering pam.tenison.catholic.edu.au into any web browser. Alternatively, it can be opened in the Skoolbag app. 

 

YOUR CHILD’S LEARNING AREA TASKS

A fantastic feature of PAM is being able to view students’ progress in their learning areas. As we approach the end of Term 1, it is recommended that parents view this information. Once logged into PAM, select your child and then select the ‘Learning Areas’ tab. This tab provides current and timely information regarding assessment tasks, and learning your child is engaged in.

 

TERM 1 REPORTS

This term, students in Reception and Year 12 only will receive Reports and families will be able to access these on Wednesday 11 April via PAM. Once again, log into PAM, select your child and then select the ‘Assessment reports’ tab. From here, select the Term 1 2018 report for your child.  This can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF. For students in Year 1 – Year 11, you will be able to access your child’s progress by clicking on the ‘Learning Area’ tab (as outlined above).

 

TERM 2 TIMETABLES

Timetables for students in Year 8 – 12 will be available for students to view in Simon and parents to view through PAM from Monday 16 April, 2018. To access your child’s timetable, log into PAM, select your child and then select the ‘Student timetable’ tab.  Opening the tab will provide information regarding your child’s weekly timetable for Term 2, including their teacher for each subject and lesson times.

I look forward to offering some more tips next week!
