Student Led Conferences

Parents,

On Monday, March 10 you will see what I hope to be a personalized experience as rich as our Exhibition Night. Each student will serve as a "conductor", as they guide you through their learning experience thus far in the year. The responsibility is their own. They are spending these next few days examining their learning and reflecting on their work. On Monday, during their conference time,your child will articulate their strengths and shortcomings. Lee and I will serve merely as facilitators.
Please learn about the benefits of student led conferencing through this article HERE.

This is our third major event in as little as a week. Exhibition Night, the writing test, and now, student led conferences! Nothing will stop these kids. Their perseverance is striking! Your children have been putting forth so much effort and working so hard.

Come celebrate their learning! If you haven't already, sign up for a conference time. The form is posted on our door. We can also put available times into your child's planner.

I look forward to seeing you all next Monday. And, please, see the link to learn more about what to expect on Monday. Your involvement in this conference can really help us maximize your child's learning potential.

-Kevin
