Our first conference of the 2012-2013 school year will be held on either October 2nd or October 4th. Notes will be coming home soon for you to verify the date and time that was chosen earlier in the school year. If you need to change the time that is listed, please indicate alternative dates and times that will work for you now. I'll do my best to accommodate those requests.
I call your attention to the heading of this posting...Parent--Student--Teacher Conferences. This may be a new practice for you but I do welcome students at these conferences. Rather than have a student sit in the hallway or at home, I would rather see them take an active part in our discussion. My past experience shows that students know best how they are doing...problems that they are experiencing...goals that they want to accomplish. So why not include them in our discussion.
Over the next few weeks, I will have each student prepare some written thoughts about their progress at school. I will ask them to share parts of this during the conference while I add additional information (test results, etc.). Due to our short amount of time, we won't be able to go through all of their comments. I would encourage you to use this information for further discussions at home. I hope that all of the students will be able to attend.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about including students in our conference, please let me know. Please use my school email....cmann@lps.org.
Go Mustangs!
