Parent Teacher Conferences

Thank you to all of the parents that attended parent-teacher conferences last night.  I enjoyed meeting all of you and look forward to working with you throughout the remainder of the year. I know that some of our conferences were cut short because of time. If there are some things that you would still like to discuss, or if you have any further questions, please contact me.

Letter From Your Child

Dear Mom and/or Dad,

     Today you saw my report card, and next week you will speak to my teacher.  This report card is my teacher’s attempt to describe my actions and accomplishments at school.  When you read the card, and talk to my teacher, please remember that he is describing someone near and dear to you, so please don’t get “uptight” if you see something you do not agree with.  I hope you will accept me as I am.

     Remember that all children do not learn to walk and talk at the same age, nor do they learn math and reading at the same rate.  Please do not compare me to my brothers and sisters or friends, because I am unique to this world.  Be realistic in setting my goals.  I need to be challenged, but not pushed beyond my ability.  I want to be successful and I need time to “smell the flowers” while I am still a child.

     Please remember that my report card is a picture of me at school.  It is a whole different world from the one at home.  Can you imagine having 22 children my age at the dinner table tonight, or 200 children in our backyard playing?  Don’t be surprised to find that I respond in a different manner at school.

     My teacher knows me as I am at school.  You know me as I am at home.  The “real me” may be somewhere in between.  I know you see me as a unique individual who can make you proud and bring you much happiness.  I will try my best.

With love from your child.                  

Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent-Conferences are next week Thursday. Please review the schedule to see your assigned time. If you are unable to attend during your time slot, please contact me. 

Endings

Along with the end of the week, yesterday brought with it the end of two other things- the quarter and the WKCE.

The students devoted a great deal of their time to taking the WKCE tests the last two weeks. They were hard, they were long, and, some might say, they were boring. Regardless of how your child felt about them, everyone worked really hard and tried their best throughout the testing process. There were several students who were absent for one or more of the tests. These students will complete their WKCE tests the week of November 5. You should receive a copy of your child's results this spring.

Friday also saw the end of the first quarter. I was truly shocked to see that listed on my desk calendar at work. It doesn't seem possible that we have really spent one full quarter together, but the

Parent Teacher Conferences

Yesterday your child should have brought home your scheduled parent-teacher conference time. Please review this time slot and check to see if you can attend. If you can attend this time slot, please indicate this on the form and return it to me.  If you need to reschedule, please indicate that on the form and I will contact you to schedule a different time.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent teacher conferences are scheduled for November 15 from 12:30-8:00.  The sign-up sheet was out during Kozy's open house and several parents already signed up. If you haven't, I have set up an online sign up sheet on our classroom website.

By following the link, you will be taken to a calendar showing who has signed up. I am unable to set it to automatically go to the conference date, so you will need to navigate to Nov. 15. I also an unable to enable the "day" view. The best you can do is click on the "week" view,  so the boxes showing who signed up are rather small. To view them larger, click on the box.

To sign up, follow the link above the calendar. Again, you will need to navigate to Nov. 15 to view the open slots. Please double check the conference calendar before signing up to ensure that each child only has one conference slot.

If you have any questions please ask. The link to the conference calendar is here.
