Parent/ Teacher Conferences
Here's to a Red Ribbon of a Week!
If you feel your conference may go sideways, do let us know and we can join you.
Don't forget your ESS Courses if you find you have extra time this week.
PowerSchool Information Check
Do have your parents check their PowerSchool information. This is important for receiving Report Cards as well as Communication from school.
AIMs and MAP Scores
Keep parents up-to-date on AIMS, MAP and other assessments. Some parents are so motivated they will hire tutors for their children.
Classroom Policies
To be our partners in education our parents need clear understanding of your Grading, Classroom and Homework Policies.
News:
SEL - week 11 ideas = enlist volunteers, resist perfectionism, figure out the main thing and tackle it first, schedule one-on-one time with a good friend.
