May 12 - 16th, 2014

Student Led Conferences/celebration:  May 14th. Between 4:00-5:30 p.m. A Student-led conference is a time for your child to be in charge!  These conferences highlight the most important person in the assessment process – the student. What should a parent expect at a Student-Led Conference?

1.  Your child will do most of the talking.
2.  Your child will tell you the goals he or she is working on in class.
3.  Your child will discuss his or her progress.
4.  Your child will share and explain different types of work that he or   she performs throughout the day.
5.    This conference is a celebration of learning.
We look forward to seeing you!
