Just a reminder that in-person Student/Teacher/Family Conferences will take place on Thursday, October 26th, 2023, at all Elementary and Middle Schools in SD83. Students will not be in attendance this day, except during their scheduled conference time.
The Student/Teacher/Family conferences serve as an informal learning update (previously an “interim report”) and are an opportunity to discuss/share student strengths, areas of growth, and ways to support learning, particularly in the areas of literacy, numeracy, and social emotional learning.
Research shows that meaningful and ongoing communication between home and school has a positive impact on student learning and engagement.
Only one family at a time in the classroom space during the scheduled time
During the conference, opportunities will be provided to share examples of learning, reflect on areas of strength, identify areas of further growth, and discuss ways to support learning (particularly in the areas of literacy, numeracy, and social emotional learning)
All conferences will be scheduled using the Microsoft Bookings tool; all families of elementary and middle students will receive an email next week with information about how to schedule a conference time
For students supported with a competency-based individual education program (CB IEP), parents/caregivers will be given the option to choose a combined CB IEP/conference meeting or to schedule a separate CB IEP meeting and a separate conference meeting, in collaboration with the school-based team
