Student Led Conferences September 25, 2014 Dear Parents and Students,
We would like to invite you to attend with your student our “Student Led Conference” event on October 10, 2014. This is a teacher work day with no general student attendance. The conferences will be scheduled between 8:30 and Noon in 30 minute time slots.
The purpose of this event is to give you an opportunity to spend about 30 minutes with your student while he/she reviews with you several areas of their academic performance and goals. This will include grades, FCAT scores, Discovery Education benchmark scores and other classroom assessments/tests.Our goal is for students to learn and to understand the measurements that are used to monitor their academic progress and to be able to communicate their progress to their parent/guardian. We hope that it will increase their sense of empowerment in managing their own education. We will offer a variety of
resources so that you will be able to actively participate in their educational process. Family engagement is a critical component of student success.
Please see the attachment for more information, as well as the permission slip for your child to return by October 3, 2014. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Rogers
