Sign Up For Your Portfolio Conference
Dear Families,
How time flies! We're well into autumn and it’s already time for our first round of Student-led Portfolio Conferences. Children benefit greatly from having meaningful conversations about their learning with important adults in their lives, and we know that you discuss school with your child at home on a regular basis. A Portfolio Conference is an opportunity to have a more formal and structured conversation with your child about his or her successes, challenges, and growth.
At the student-led conference, your child will present a portfolio of artifacts – work from each class that he or she has thoughtfully selected to demonstrate learning and growth. These conferences represent many hours of preparation, and the process helps students build life-long skills including: organization skills, self-evaluative skills, and communication skills. Most importantly, the portfolio process helps your child take more ownership of his or her learning and be more accountable for his or her academic progress. Thank you for the important role you play in this!
Please visit bit.ly/everestconferences to indicate your preferred conference time. Any caring adult is welcome - parents, adult siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors. If no adult is able to attend at one of the times offered, we will gladly make arrangements for you to conference with your child at another time. Conferences will take place in the Team Everest classrooms in the middle school on the second floor.
We look forward to seeing you!

Books Team Everest Recommends
Looking for a new book to read? Please check out this list of Books Team Everest Recommends. Last month, students had a chance to contribute titles of their favorite books and we compiled them into an alphabetized list- there are dozens from which to choose! All come highly recommended from a member of Team Everest. Eighth graders Colby, Mariam, and Sami added descriptions for all the books and also created a delightful wall display for the Language Arts classroom.
