October Calendar, Reminders and Questions for Welcome Conversations

Good morning families,

September flew by so quickly and so did our summer weather! We have continued to form routines, connections and are beginning many of our academic units.

October Calendar:

Attached is our October Calendar with all the dates I know of so far. The blog is a great way to add any additional dates. Please look to the blog weekly and feel free to download or take a picture of our calendar in the window.

Questions for Welcome Conversations:

Thank you in advance for reviewing the questions as a family prior to our welcome conversations next week. It will help structure our conversation as 10 minutes flies by and when the time the next family will be arriving ready for the  next conversation.

I am also still waiting on 3 more families to sign up for a time. By the end of the week I will email you personally to schedule in a meeting.

As conferences will be a short 10 minutes please be prepared to answer the following questions about your child:

Questions about your child:

  • What are your child’s interests?
  • What are your child’s strengths?
  • What are your child’s stretches? (things you want them to develop or work on)
  • How is your child adjusting to Division 11?
  • What are two goals you have for your child this school year? (1 academic and 1 social emotional goal)

Question for/ about parents:

  • Do you have any skills/ hobby or career you’d like to share or teach the class?
  • Does your family celebrate any cultural holidays? (if so, we can celebrate and learn about it in the classroom)
  • Any medical information/ allergies I need to know to support your child?
  • Anything the school can help support you, your child or your family?
