How time flies! We're well into autumn and it’s already time for our first round of Student Portfolio Conferences. Children benefit greatly from having meaningful conversations about their learning with important adults in their lives. To that end, we invite you to a Portfolio Conference, where your child will present to you artifacts of his or her learning - work from each class that he or she has thoughtfully selected to demonstrate learning and growth.
New to the conference this year is the inclusion of your child’s Personal Learning Plan (PLP). You will have a chance to view the first two components of the PLP - which is Milton Middle School’s way of incorporating the new requirements under Act 77. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your child’s strengths and areas for growth and then collaboratively set a goal. 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/housecconferences8 to indicate your preferred conference time, or return the form attached to this letter that your child will be bringing home. Any caring adult is welcome - parents, adult siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors. 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. Conferences will take place in the Middle/Elementary School Library.We look forward to seeing you!
