Dear Team Everest Families,
It is hard to believe that we are beginning the third trimester of the school year. That means it’s time for the second round of Student-Led Portfolio 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 conference, your child will present a portfolio of artifacts and written reflections – 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 lifelong skills including: organization, self-evaluation, and communication. 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/everestconferences2 to indicate your preferred conference time, or return the form attached to this letter. 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!
The Teachers of Team Everest
