FROM THE PRINCIPAL
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
Thank you for scheduling time to meet with your child's teacher(s) to review progress, celebrate successes, and work together to set goals for continued growth. We look forward to these discussions as we share information with you in our partnership for your child's learning.
At conferences you can expect to hear about recent assessments, including the MAP (Measurement of Academic Progress). These assessments in literacy and math are given to all students in the fall, winter, and spring. Teachers receive immediate results with MAP that show what students know and what they are ready to learn. The results can be used to help personalize lessons at the appropriate level for students. In addition to this information you will hear about ways your child has demonstrated growth in reading and in math. Teachers will suggest additional strategies for home support.
Teachers will also share information about your child's class participation, problem solving skills, behavior, motivation, attention, and learning goals. We encourage you to ask any questions or share any information that is important to your child's success at school.
Please call the school office (815-338-0473) if you need assistance with scheduling a conference or if you need to reschedule your appointment.
