Our Spring Parent Conferences are coming right up! On Friday, April 5th there will be no school for the students and parent conferences will be held. As a staff, we’re excited that our spring conferences are STUDENT LED CONFERENCES. We want to put our EMES students in the driver’s seat and have them be in charge of presenting their progress and goals for the future.
Student led conferences have become very commonplace in education and we feel it’s time for EMES students to regularly have this opportunity. During the next couple of weeks students will work on reflecting, gathering evidence, setting future goals and practicing presentations for families. These conferences will be a chance for them to demonstrate a large number of the skills that we have been working on.
I will be present at conferences, and there will also be a chance for you to talk to me if you need to but my goal is that the students are able to lead the conference with a minimal amount of support from me. There may be multiple families scheduled at one time, please know that our room is large enough for your child to present privately.
A sign up schedule will be sent home with students on Tuesday. I will confirm your time prior to the conference. Please remember your child will need to be present at the conference and that the night before conferences is Celebration of Learning.
