All teachers:

Parent Teacher Conference
We have parents wait in the auditorium until 4:45, then we will release to begin conferences.
This is a wonderful opportunity to continue to build relationships and partnerships with parents.
Pointers for Conferences-
Provide parents with specific academic information.
Invite and obtain additional information from parents.
Listen carefully to parents. If you're nervous, you will tend to “take over” the conversation—by as much as 90 percent. Try for a 50-50 balance.
Combine your perceptions and their observations into a workable plan of action. Ask for parent ideas, and use those ideas in addressing challenging situations.
Let parents know that you are always available for follow-up (phone calls, personal meetings, etc.).
When talking to parents, always remember: show, don't tell. Provide specific examples of a student's work or behavior rather than labels or adjectives.

Spotlight on ARSA's 6th Grade Math Team
I want to give a huge shout out to ARSA's 6th Grade Math Team!! Everyday Ms. Brown, Ms. Lawson, Ms. Jefferson, Ms. Price, and Ms. Roseborough strive for excellence when it comes to their students. Everyday this team plans, writes, and executes lessons for their students that are engaging and fun. A day doesn't go by where they are not trying to better themselves, seek help when needed, and collaborate to be the best for their students. Thank you for your hard team!! I want you to know it doesn't go unnoticed!! You guys rock!
Spotlight on Ms. Hunt
I would like to spotlight Ms. Hunt for diligently working to get our facilities working correctly. The heat has been turned on in the library and is no longer an arctic zone! It is much appreciated.
