place

from
8:30am - 12:00pm and 12:45pm - 3:30pm.
This year, we are excited to continue
Middle School Student Led Conferences!
Your child will lead the conference by
showing you samples of his or her work in
the core subject areas and specials, as
well as goals for the upcoming quarter
and a reflection on Q1. There will be no
school for students, but students are
expected to attend the conference as
they are leading it. If for some reason
your child can not attend, you can still
pick up their portfolio and report card, and
have the conference at home.
All conferences will take place in the gym.
Rather than signing up for a specific 10
minute time slot with your childs
homeroom teacher, please indicate the
block during which you want to visit. You
can come in any time within that block.
Plan on staying for 10-20 minutes
within the block to pick up a report
card and other forms, and review
your childs mini-portfolio with your
student. Please be aware there is not
enough time to engage in a full
conference with every teacher, but
teachers will be available to answer
questions or concerns.
Students will have class time to prepare
their portfolios, outline specific points they
want to share, and practice productive
and thoughtful ways to lead their
conference.
Report cards will not be sent home, so
please make arrangements to meet with
your childs teacher if you are unable to
schedule an appointment on Report Card
Pick-Up Day.
