Dear Families,
The days are getting longer and spring is in the air! It’s time for Student Portfolio Conferences! Your child has done much learning and growing over these past months. We invite you to a Portfolio Conference, where your child will present work from each class that he or she has thoughtfully selected to demonstrate learning and growth.
These conferences are important to your child and represent many hours of preparation. The portfolio process helps students build life-long skills including: organization, self-evaluation, and communication. 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. Studies show that children benefit greatly from having meaningful conversations about their learning with important adults in their lives. Thank you for the important role you play in this process!
Please visit http://bit.ly/housecconferences9 to indicate your preferred conference time. 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!
