How to Get started with Student LEd Conferences!
1.Build your schedule-How long will each student led conference last? How many can be held at one time? Since the student is the facilitator more than one could occur at a time slot. Consider siblings in your scheduling?
2.Items that must be discussed: ( Math & ELA NWEA scores, NWEA growth goals, Comprehensive Benchmark data, Attendance)
3. Work as a grade level team if there is more that you would like for your students to share.
4.Determine how your additional staff will help ( PE, Music, support staff etc.)
5. Train your students
6. Provide practice opportunities for students!

Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences
One of the indicators of an effective school is the high incidence of parent-teacher conferences, which keep the parent abreast of a child's progress. It is district policy that a minimum of one conference is held before the end of the third quarter, and more for students who potentially could be retained. Parent-teacher conference days are scheduled in September and February. The purpose of these days is to provide time for teachers to conference with parents concerning the progress of their child and review the Student, Parent, and Teacher Contract. There will be other times when conferences will be held. Documentation of parent conferences scheduled and/or held is to be made.
