It is hard to believe: our third marking term has closed, and Quarter #3 report cards will go home on Monday, April 11. It has been an amazingly fast and productive year, and the children have all grown so well.
In planning for our Thursday afternoon and evening student-led parent conferences, I recently had a chance to review some video I shot of our school on September 24th, 2010 -- the day of our WHS Fall Open House. The teachers and students were very excited for the event, and everyone looked fantastic (it just happened to be our fall picture day also, so many of the kids were dressed in their finest!). I will run the video on a loop on Thursday, so you can see how much we have all grown and changed over the past seven months.
I hope that you have made an appointment to meet with your child's teacher at some point this week. Although most conferences will be held on Thursday, if you can't join us on that day, please let your child's teacher know when you could get in to WHS for your child's spring conference. We'll try our best to accommodate for your work and family schedule.
The parent-teacher conferences held in the springtime at WHS are extra special because they REALLY star your child(ren)! Your child has been preparing to lead a conference with you and his/her teacher. During the meeting, all parties will talk about your student's experience in our school this year, and all of the wonderful growth that we have all worked so hard to achieve. Our spring conferences are truly a celebration of your child's academic and personal growth over the course of the school year.
We anticipate that you will be impressed by what you see and what you hear at the conference.
Please join us for our spring student-led parent conferences at WHS this coming Thursday, April 14th. WHS and your child: always worth the trip!
