HOUSE B
November 2, 2015

Dear House B Families,

It is time for the first round of Student-Led Parent Conferences! The 2015-16 school year is well underway, 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. 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 prior to the conference, or that go unanswered at the conference, please contact your child’s advisor or any teacher.

We are scheduling conferences on the evenings of Monday, November 9th and Tuesday, March 10th from 4:00PM to 7:00PM in classrooms 212 and 213. We look forward to seeing you at this important event!

Sincerely,

Caroline Woodward - Consulting Teacher

Greer Krembs - Science
Francine Lemnah - Math
Josh Roof - Humanities
Ellen H. Taggart - Humanities
