- Student-Led Conferences: In place of the traditional parent teacher-conferences, your child will lead the conference this trimester to reflect on their progress, show you their work and receive feedback. You, your child, and I will participate in the conference. Student-led conferences have shown success in engaging students in understanding and taking ownership of their learning.
As parents and family members, you are critical partners in helping support your child’s learning and growth. Our new conference structure will be a very important way to show this support. Please be sure to sign up for a conference time and bring your child with you to the conference.
Click HERE to sign up for your student’s conference starting October 15th. Click HERE for instructions on how to sign up. We look forward to having 100% of our families attending a 1st trimester conference. Remember, November 5th-9th will be early dismissal for all grades to allow for time to meet with each of our families.
- Maidu Historic Site Field Trip: Permission slips for our first field trip of the year went home with your child today. Please fill out the form and return it to school. If you are interested in being a chaperone, click here! I will reach out to parents directly to confirm positions. We are hoping to get 4 adults to join us. Come along! It'll be fun!
