Student Led Conferences
Student-led conferences are an opportunity for your child to demonstrate what they know and have learned at school. Conferences will be held on Thursday April 19th from 3:30 – 7:30pm and Friday April 20th from 8:00-9:00am. Conferences will be in half hour blocks, allowing you and your child 30 minutes to share their work in the classroom with 2 other families present. Teachers will be available in the classroom but will not be booking specific time slot interviews. Please be prepared to spend this quality time with your child, as they will have tasks and activities to share with you.
If teachers feel the need to meet privately with you to discuss your child’s progress, they will contact you by Friday the 13th. You feel you require a one-on-one interview and have not heard from your child’s teacher by Friday, April 13th, please connect with them to set up a time.
