Liberators are "Learning for Life"
Parent Open House coming soon!
Academic progress reports will be available to pick up at open house.
Teachers will be available in classrooms to meet parents. We hope to see you at open house in March. No appointment is needed.
Here are some suggested questions as you discuss your student's progress with our teachers? These questions might help you feel like you are learning the most from your visit!
1. What is my student expected to know and be able to do this semester?
2. How can I know if they've learned it well?
3. What can I do to stay more involved in my student's learning?
4. How do you allow for differences in student abilities or learning styles?
5. Is my student ready for the next course in this subject? How is my student progressing towards being ready for college or career?
