Dear Families,
Here is a cute video we made about responsibility for the assembly next week: click here
As in previous years, our 5th grade spring conferences will be student-led. Your child will prepare a special, interactive presentation to share what they have been learning throughout the school year.
We will host an open house where you may drop in with your child at any time between 3:00–7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, or between 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 19. I will be available during these times if you have any questions about your child’s work. Please plan for the conference to take approximately 15–45 minutes.
If you would like to meet with me privately to discuss your child’s progress, you may schedule a one-on-one conference between 3:00–7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 19. Please plan to complete the student-led portion of the conference before attending the private meeting. Email me if you would like to schedule a time.
If you are unable to attend in person, your child will bring home their iPad and can guide you through the conference at your convenience.
All 5th grade students are required to participate in this exciting event.
