Report cards and conferences are right around the corner! Report cards go home on Wednesday, November 24th and conferences are on Wednesday, December 1st and Thursday, December 2nd.


Conferences this year will be different than what you are used to. I would like your child to be present during conferences. This week I will be talking with the class about this, and they will fill out self assessments based on the social/learning skills from the report card. I like to have student input about how they feel they are doing on these components. This is a great way to discuss skills your child is doing well, as well as areas that need improvement. We will take that time to set some new goals based on the conversations we have. It’s a great way we can all be on the same page about what’s been working well, what hasn’t, and where do we go from here.

We will also discuss academics, but conferences will not be a time to discuss the report card. If you have a specific question regarding a grade on the report card, please email or call me and we can discuss it separately.

Below is our conference schedule. Please double check to find your date/time of your conference. Conferences are twenty minutes long and I have them scheduled back to back so please be sure to be on time.

Conference reminders will be coming home with your child in the Friday Packet this week. Please let me know if you have any questions. I know this might be different than conferences you’ve had in the past, but I feel that this is the best way to keep students responsible and accountable for their own learning and the classroom environment.
