Supporting your child's learning
The more kaiako and teachers understand your child, tamariki or tamaiti, the better they're able to provide learning experiences that recognise and value what makes them unique.
Each new teacher they have throughout their education is able to access information about them using Te Rito. This helps them to understand and respond to their learning style, preferences and needs.
Te Rito makes it easy to participate in your child's education
Te Rito recognises the partnership between you, your child and their teachers because you understand your child best.
Principals and teachers are able to share your child's learning information using Te Rito to support open conversations about their learning.
Together you can explore the range of choices and resources available to support them throughout their learning journey.
Keeping ākonga and learner information secure
Protecting your child's information is at the core of Te Rito.
- The personal information collected and stored in Te Rito about a learner belongs to the learner and you - their parents or guardians. It doesn't belong to their kura or school - and you can ask for a copy of it at any time.
- It's the responsibility of the kura or school your child attends to keep their information up to date, safe and secure.
- The information about your child in Te Rito is provided by kura and schools. If it's incorrect, you should contact their kura or school to have it updated.
