HOUSE B
February 19, 2014
Dear House B Families,
It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of second trimester of the school year. That means it’s time for the second round of Student-Led Parent Conferences! We know that you discuss school and learning with your child on a regular basis. We invite you and your child to participate in this opportunity to have a more formal and structured discussion about his or her successes, challenges, and growth during this trimester.
At the Student-Led Parent Conference, your child will share a portfolio of artifacts of his or her learning – work from each class that he or she has thoughtfully selected to demonstrate learning and growth. In addition to these artifacts, your child will discuss reflections on successes and challenges in each academic area, and the goals he or she is proposing for the final trimester of the year. These goals encompass lifelong learning skills and the Habits of Mind students are striving to achieve in our Middle School: flexible thinking, preparedness, citizenship, persistence, and precision.
We are scheduling conferences on the evenings of Tuesday, March 11th and Thursday, March 13th from 4:00PM to 7:00PM in the school’s library. While all teachers will be present during the conferences, please remember that not every teacher will be able to check in with you like in a traditional parent-teacher conference.
We look forward to seeing you at this important event!
Sincerely,
Karen Allard - Consulting Teacher
Greer Krembs - Science
Francine Lemnah - Math
Josh Roof - Humanities
Ellen H. Taggart - Humanities
