Staff Survey - Deadline January 31st
Please take a few minutes to complete our Staff Survey. This survey is specific to Deerfield, not the district as a whole. Everyone on staff should take this survey: Paras, ISA, Cafeteria, Custodians, secretaries, teachers. The survey closes on January 31st! I'd love to have the voice of all staff represented.

Worth Repeating: Mid-Term Progress & Conferences
February Conferences will be here before you know! Here are a few tips:
- Start and end with a positive comment about the child.
- Remember to use Mindful Inquiry - First Listen, then Inquire, then Respond
- Remember: Progress reports should reflect 1. student's most recent performance, not an average. 2. where you would expect students to be on February 16th NOT May 23rd.
- No Surprises! Make sure behavior and/or academic concerns have been communicated before conferences. Parents should not be "surprised" when they receive their child's progress report.
- Have plenty of work samples to support progress report markings.
- Avoid using educational jargon.
