Sign-Up Now for Spring Parent Conferences!

Please review and complete the Spring Conference sign-up form that was sent home with your child recently.  You can indicate preferred conference times, and if you have multiple teachers to see.  Please send the form back to us, and we will confirm your conference time.  It is important to note that these meetings are designed to be ‘student-led’ conferences in which your child leads the conversation about his/her school year and the learning s/he has enjoyed since our fall (goal setting) parent conferences.  The students will present examples of their work, talk about assessment results, and discuss the extent to which they have met learning goals established in the fall.  The students are typically very pleased and proud to share all of the great work that they have done and all of the growth that they have made over the course of the year.  We look to these meetings to serve more as a celebration of student learning, than a time when problems or parent concerns are discussed.  For specific concerns about your child’s progress, etc., please make a meeting appointment with your child’s teacher for another day — we are always happy to meet with our parent partners! 

It is important to note that on the day of our Spring Conferences (April 10th), we will have an Early Release at 1:00pm., there will be no Project EXTRA!, and we will be sending Quarter #3 Progress Reports home with students on that day.  Get ready for a day of celebrating the growth and achievements of our Woodland Wildcats on Thursday, April 10th.  See you then!
