Dear McCarthy Families,
This week will be the 2nd week of Parent Teacher Conferences. These conferences are important. Parent/Guardians involvement in the education of their child is vital for numerous reasons beyond keeping them informed of their progress, strengths and areas of improvement. Conferences also...
Can provide insight to the teacher with information shared by the parent/guardian
Can encourage students to stay in school
Can open up the communication between teacher and parent/guardian regarding current or potential issues
Can ease the teacher’s workload by gaining support and/or better understanding from the parent/guardian
We encourage all families to sign up for a conference.
Have a wonderful week,
Ms Sancho, Ms DiDonato, and Ms Page
