Better Together at Holy Spirit
October 24 - 28, 2022
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
Luke 18: 9-14
Sometimes we are blind to our sins, faults and failures. The Pharisee (FAYR-uh-see) in today’s parable thought himself to be better than other people. He did not acknowledge the sin in himself. We should remember that we all sin and need to humbly ask God for forgiveness.

3-Way Conferences
Celebration of Learning
Your child will be bringing home their “Evidence of Learning” Portfolios this week. The goal of this assessment tool is for your child to “show what they know”. This portfolio is designed to accompany the reporting process so that you can have the opportunity to see their learning first hand and understand where they are, where they need to go, and how to get there.
Please take some time to sit with your child(ren) as they share a window into their learning. Consider these questions:
- What did you notice that is working well for your child?
- Where have you seen improvement?
- An area you would like to see improvement in.
- Is there anything that surprised you?
Following reviewing Evidence of Learning you will attend a 3-Way Conference in November. This is an opportunity for yourself, your child, and their teacher to engage in conversations around their learning.
