Dear Families of Division 3,

On Wednesday May 1st, our school will be having an early dismissal at 2 pm to accommodate student-led conferences.  Please note that only the Grade 6 students will dismiss at 2:00 pm. The Grade 7 students will be attending a play at Alpha and will only return to school at 3:00 pm. Due to this schedule our conferences will be held from 3:00-5:00 pm. Families are invited to join their child for a 15-20 minute student led conference where your child will present some of their learning. If you are unable to attend in person, please sign up for a home conference and students will conduct their student-led conference at home.

At the time of the conference, 6 other families will be meeting with their child in the classroom. Students will conduct their own conferences with their families. I will be there to offer clarification or assistance if needed, however, this time is not a time for us to meet or discuss concerns or questions you may have about your child’s academic or social emotional needs. These conferences are an opportunity for your child to showcase their learning and discuss with you goals and next steps. Parents are encouraged to provide constructive feedback and discuss ways they can provide support.

Below is a link where you can sign up for a time that works for you to attend your child’s conference. Please keep in mind there are only 6 slots available for each timeframe. If for any reason you are unable to attend in person you may also select to have your child hold their conference at home.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out. It’s always exciting when students get the opportunity to share what they’ve been learning and set goals for where they are going next. I look forward to seeing you all in person as you celebrate your child’s achievements.

Regards,

Ms. Smith

Students had so much fun prototype narratives on Friday afternoon during our Serious Lego Play Workshop.

For their speeches students are required to write about an authentic moment in their lives and discuss what they learned from that experience. Speeches will be presented in class Friday March 1st. Finalists will be selected for the district competition by March 15th.

Poems will be uploaded to your child’s Spaces Account later this week for viewing.
