EQAO ensures greater accountability and better quality in Ontario's publicly funded school system. An arm's-length agency of the provincial government, EQAO provides parents, teachers and the public with accurate and reliable information about student achievement. EQAO also makes recommendations for improvement that educators, parents, policy-makers and others in the education community can use to improve learning and teaching. |

A school is a place that promotes responsibility, respect, civility and academic excellence in a safe learning and teaching environment. All students, parents, teachers and staff have the right to be safe, and feel safe, in their school community. With this right comes the responsibility to be law-abiding citizens and to be accountable for actions that put at risk the safety of others or oneself. |

Effective schools do not exist in isolation; they are an integral part of the communities they serve. Effective schools and classroom teachers involve families in their children’s education and help them to connect with relevant resources in the broader community. They also work in partnership with community groups, service agencies, and post secondary institutions to expand their knowledge, skills, and resources for helping all children learn to read. |

Children arrive at school with a variety of backgrounds and experiences and with more mathematical knowledge than was previously thought, regardless of different socio-economic situations (Ginsburg & Seo, in press). Children may not immediately communicate this understanding, but research on early stages of learning indicates that children begin the process of making sense of their world at a very young age, and this includes making mathematical sense (National Association for the Education of Young Children [NAEYC], 2002; Wright, Martland, & Stafford, 2000). |

The Ontario Early Math Strategy is intended to help children improve
their math skills. The strategy includes setting targets to improve the math
achievement of students at school. Under the strategy, the Ministry of
Education is providing teachers and students with various resources aimed at
achieving these goals.
This guide suggests simple activities that you, as a parent, can do
with your young child to explore math at home. It will be most useful
for parents of children in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 3. |

The Ontario Curriculum |
Curriculum documents define what children are taught in Ontario public schools. They detail the knowledge and skills that students are expected to develop in each subject at each grade level. By developing and publishing curriculum documents for use by all Ontario teachers, the Ministry of Education sets standards for the entire province. |
 |
As well, the Ontario Government recently introduced the Code of Conduct and Safe Schools Act 2000 that sets out clear regulations, standards and expectations for student conduct, discipline, appropriate dress and access to school premises. Adherence to the requirements set out in this legislation as well as the Board's policy is expected of all members of the school community. Every member of a school community has a responsibility to assist in
creating and maintaining safe schools. All those involved with schools
are asked to serve as leaders and role models for students. |

The Provincial Report Card for Grades 1 to 8 ensures that all students attending publicly funded elementary schools in Ontario receive a standard report card based on the Ontario curriculum expectations. The report card provides clear, detailed, straightforward information to parents about how their child is achieving and progressing in school in relation to provincial curriculum expectations and standards. It is designed to involve students in assess in their own progress and setting goals, and to provide parents with the information they need to identify how they can support their child's learning at home.
