HOUSE B

March 11, 2015

Dear House B Families,

It is time for the second round of Student-Led Parent Conferences! The 2014-15 school year will soon be over, and this is an excellent time for you to see your child’s growth and progress. We know that you discuss school and learning with your child on a regular basis.  We invite you to participate in this opportunity to have a more formal and structured discussion led by your child, to reflect on 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 set for the second trimester of the year. These goals encompass both lifelong learning skills and the Habits of Mind that students are striving to achieve in our Middle School: flexible thinking, preparedness, citizenship, persistence, and precision. In response to your feedback, we are holding all of the conferences in one space this session, which eliminates teachers moving from one room to the next. While all teachers will be present during the conferences, please know that the purpose of the conference is for your child to share his/her learning experience with you, unlike a traditional parent-teacher conference. It can be difficult for each teacher to visit each conference. If you have specific concerns or questions that go unanswered please contact your child’s teachers.

We are scheduling conferences on the evenings of Wednesday, March 25, and Thursday, March 26th from 4:00PM to 7:00PM in classrooms 212 and 213.  We look forward to seeing you at this important event!

Sincerely,

Debbie Chanin - Consulting Teacher Josh Roof - Humanities

Greer Krembs - Science Ellen H. Taggart - Humanities

Francine Lemnah - Math
