Preparing for Conferences

 Staff,

A reminder that conference scheduling (for February 13th and 18th) goes live to parents in the afternoon of Wednesday, January 29th. Here's the link if you need assistance in organizing with blocking out breaks. Please have this done by the morning of January 29th. 

When planning your conferences keep in mind the sandwich method. Start with something positive (strengths), continue with areas you'd like the child to grow in and circle back to something positive about the student to end the conference. In the past, I have shared this article which has some additional tips to think about while preparing for your conferences. Also if you are planning to have Kelly or me attend a conference, it is always good to give parents a heads up about our attendance, so they aren't surprise. 

Don't forget to look at the bulletin for your grade level's Orbit Earth Schedule on Wednesday. Your sessions will be in the gym side closest to the stage. Your specials will be at their normal times on this day with Mr. Berg's being in the cafeteria and Mr. Handevidt's in the half of the gym farthest from the stage.
