Second Night of Fall Parent-Teacher Student-Led Conferences on Wednesday, November 2, from 4 to 6:30PM
This evening you will be receiving a BlackBoardConnect message reminding parents/guardians about our Parent-Teacher Student-Led Conferences for Wednesday, November 2.
Our Parent-Teacher and Student-Led Conferences were last Thursday night, October 27, 6 to 8:30 PM, and then tomorrow, Wednesday, November 2, from 4 to 6:30 PM.
The last couple of years, we have successfully piloted some Student-Led Conferences in pockets throughout the building, and we have continued this practice for we have seen the success it can have.
Your children have worked hard to prepare for these conferences so I hope you will come and listen to them as they explain for you what they have learned, how they are doing, and what they still need to continue to work on.
We believe Student-Led Conferences put the student, your child, at the center of his/her own learning. Your child will sit and discuss with you how his/her learning is progressing and what he/she still needs to improve.
Research tells us that when we have the students at the center of their learning and give them a chance to explain it, they will achieve more. So please come and experience this with us.
We understand that there also may be times where you need to talk with the teacher, and our teachers will be here on hand to do so as well. But in the five minute time frame that you will have at a Parent-Teacher Conference.
And if the night isn’t packed enough, we also have our Fall Book Fair in the Media Center, the NMS PTA will be selling Tiger Swag in the main hallway, and Mr. Branagan will be here from the high school to talk with 8th Grade parents about the MHS experience.
I have attached an excellent video on Student-Led Conferences.
Thank you and hope to see you tomorrow, Wednesday, November 2, 4 to 6:30 PM for you to see how successful your child has been.
