Spaces Zoom Sessions for Parents & Caregivers
Hello parents and caregivers, As part of the requirement for the new reporting policy, parents and caregivers of all students K-12 will be able to view their student’s reflections on the core competencies and goal setting at least three times per school year. On the Sunshine Coast, students will be using the Spaces ePortfolio platform to do this. Spaces is an online platform where students can upload evidence of their learning in a variety of ways (i.e. photos, videos or text). You may have already received an invite to create a Spaces family account. Please note, only the first contact listed in our system for parents and caregivers may have received an invitation. If you haven’t received an invite, you can reach out to your student’s teacher to request one. Once you have signed up for your family Spaces account, you can use it to view the reflections and goals that your student has posted. Elementary students will be posting reflections and goals a minimum of three times per year, while secondary students will be posting these eight times per year. Please be aware that this is a new platform for SD46, so teachers and students are still learning how to use it. You may see teachers using Spaces in a variety of different ways and students may be uploading different types of content for different teachers. We will be holding two virtual Zoom sessions (both the same session) in order for parents and caregivers to learn more about Spaces. In the sessions we will present general information about how the district will be using Spaces, and a Spaces specialist will show parents and caregivers how to access their accounts and how to view their student’s reflections and goals. The first session will be held on October 18th from 6:30pm – 7:30pm. You can access the Zoom using the link or QR code below. This session will be recorded and posted on the school district site. There will also be a repeat session in November. Instructions on how to sign-up for a Spaces family account are also attached.
