RE:
Student Led Conferences – Nov. 22 and Nov. 23rd
Dear
Parents/Guardians,
Progress Report Cards will be going home on
November 20, 2018 and this year, instead of the traditional Parent/Teacher
Interviews, our school will be conducting Student-Led
Conferences for all students from Senior Kindergarten to Grade 8.
Student-led conferencing is a celebration of the
students’ success to date where the student assumes an active role in the
planning and conducting of the conference.
During the conference, your son/daughter will share selections of their
work, reflections of their learning to date and goals they have set for
themselves for the term. Teachers will be available as a resource to answer any
questions and observe the sharing of information in the simultaneous
conferences between students and their parents. With student-led conferencing,
we are empowering the students to take ownership for their own learning
progress and to report this progress to their parents/guardians.
Student-Led Conferences will take place on the
afternoon/evening of Thursday, November 22, 2018 and the morning of Friday,
November 23, 2018. Families will be invited to book a time with their child’s homeroom
teacher through Edsby beginning on Monday, November 12, 2018. All families
will receive an email when the schedule is open. If you are having difficulty
scheduling your conference, please contact your child’s teacher directly, so
that they can co-ordinate a time for you.
Special Education, French, Music and other subject
area teachers will also be available on these dates. If you need to speak to any of these teachers
regarding your child’s progress, please contact them directly.
We look forward to meeting with you and your child
on conference night!
Sincerely,
C. Fischer
Principal
