Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you and your family in good health and high spirits. As the newly appointed Science Department Head at Corner Brook Intermediate School, I am excited to introduce you to our science program and share some important information regarding our assessment methods.

At Corner Brook Intermediate, we are committed to providing our students with a high-quality education that prepares them for success in their academic journey. To achieve this, we have implemented a standard-based assessment approach through a platform called STORM (Standardized Testing and Online Resources for Mastery).

STORM is an innovative tool that allows us to assess students’ understanding of scientific concepts and skills based on predetermined standards. It provides a comprehensive and objective evaluation of their progress, enabling us to identify areas of strength and areas that require further attention. By utilizing STORM, we can tailor our teaching strategies to meet the individual needs of each student, ensuring a more personalized learning experience.

Attached to this letter, you will find a detailed description and explanation of the STORM assessment system. It outlines the key features of the platform, including how assessments are conducted, how results are interpreted, and how they contribute to your child’s overall academic growth. We encourage you to review this document carefully, as it will provide you with a deeper understanding of our assessment practices.

As the Science Department Head, I am here to address any concerns or queries you may have regarding our science program or the STORM assessment system. Please feel free to contact me at the school or via email at [Email Address]. I am more than happy to schedule a meeting or discuss any questions you may have.

We firmly believe that open communication between parents, guardians, and educators is crucial for the success of our students. Your involvement and support play a vital role in creating a positive and enriching learning environment. Together, we can ensure that your child receives the best possible education in science.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to working closely with you throughout the academic year.

Warm regards,

[Your Name] Science Department Head Corner Brook Intermediate School
