Winter Portfolio Conferences March 17 and 18

Dear Families,

It's hard to believe that spring is right around the corner, even if the weather cannot confirm what the calendar says. Along with the arrival of spring comes our second round of Student Portfolio Conferences, where your child will present to you work from each class that he or she has thoughtfully selected to demonstrate learning and growth. Any caring adult is welcome - parents, adult siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors. Conferences will take place in the Middle/Elementary School Library on March 17 and 18, between 4:00 and 7:00 PM.

These conferences are important to your child, and represent many hours of hard work. The portfolio process helps students build life-long skills including: organization skills, self-evaluative skills, and communication skills. Most importantly, the portfolio process helps your child take more ownership of his or her learning and be more accountable for his or her academic progress. Thank you for the important role you play in this process!

Please visit http://bit.ly/housecconferences5 to indicate your preferred conference time. If no adult is able to attend at one of the times offered, we will gladly make arrangements for you to conference with your child at another time.

We look forward to seeing you!

The Teachers of House C
