Conference Time

Here is a copy of the letter that came home today just in case it didn't make it home in your kiddo's backpack. :)

It is fall conference time! So often this time of year, students start to get off track. It may be grades, or organization, or simply making good choices. This is an excellent opportunity for us to meet, and decide what we can do to get them back on the right path. Plus, it is an opportunity to communicate with each other. I sincerely hope you are able to meet with me. If we have met often, and you feel comfortable that your child is on track, then you do not need to sign up.

Please sign up for at least 3 times. I will let you know a.s.a.p what time I will meet with you. Look for this returned note in your child’s backpack.  If you are constrained by time, but would still like to talk with me, we can have a conference over the phone. I just need for you to write “by phone” beside the time you check off.  If you are wanting to conference by phone at a later time that is not listed, you can write the time you would like to call me, and I will try to work it out. Make sure to list the best number to reach you.
