You may remember attending a student-led conference for your child in past years. The purpose of a student-led conference is to showcase a child’s accomplishments. It also allows each student to be accountable and to accept responsibility for reporting progress to parents. These conferences provide a meaningful opportunity for children to develop pride in their work, to become effective communicators and to develop leadership skills. Other important skills reinforced through this process are time management, organization, problem solving and decision making.

This year the student-led conferences will take place at home. Students have selected samples of their work to share with you and will bring them home on Friday, May 21st. They are being asked to bring a bag to school on Friday to help carry everything. Please make sure your child brings these items back to school on Tuesday May 25th unless otherwise noted in the conference agenda. Your role, as a parent, is to listen, ask questions, give positive feedback and encourage your child in this reflective process.

Thank you for enriching your child’s learning experience by sharing in the student led conference.
