District 57 will be offering targeted opportunities for parents and teachers/service providers to check in during the month of February. Our district encourages ongoing two-way communication between our staff and families. In addition to emails, phone calls, and meetings as needed throughout the year, we hold parent and teacher conferences with all families in October and November. New this year, we will be offering check-ins on an as needed basis during the month of February. These will be different from conferences in that there will not be a full presentation about your child. You will indicate a topic you wish to discuss or questions you have for the teacher or related service provider. There is less time allocated than for fall conferences, so depending upon the level of interest, available time will be prioritized based on student needs. Check-ins may be done over the phone, via Zoom or at an in-person meeting. Please don’t feel obligated to check in, but you are welcome to request a time with a staff member if you have a particular topic to discuss. In middle school, unlike this fall, conferences will be with an individual teacher rather than the team.
If you are interested in having a check-in with any certified staff member, please fill out this form by Friday, February 3rd. You can translate the page for the signup form using your browser. To translate the signup form into another language, right-click anywhere in the Google Form and select the Translate to Language option. Please fill out a separate form for each check-in you are requesting. For example, if you have two children at Lions Park and you wish to talk with one child’s homeroom teacher and the other child’s art teacher and social worker, you would fill out three forms. You will then be contacted to schedule a time to talk with the teacher or related service provider. Staff may schedule meetings/calls before school, during their planning time, during the lunch hour, or after school. Feel free to follow up if you don’t hear anything by Friday, February 10th.
Sincerely,
Eric Larson, Principal
