Fall Parent Teacher Conferences
This year conferences begin on Tuesday, November 19th and go through Tuesday, November 26th. If you have not yet scheduled a conference, please contact your child’s teacher as soon as possible to select a time that will work for you. Parents have so much to share with teachers. You hear the “home” version of how students feel about school. They may mention what they like best, what is easy or challenging, and whether or not they have school worries. You know if your child is doing homework at night and how long it takes. You know what brings about the most excitement for your child and what gets the most airtime at the dinner table.
Sharing these insights with your child’s teacher is valuable. Teachers have so much to share with parents too. Teachers watch how your child performs academically in a variety of subject areas and what support is needed to make the most progress. They know whether your child is willing to take intellectual risks in the classroom. They know the ways in which your child is seeking out friendships in class and what behaviors help or hinder social progress. Teachers know if your child is on track to meet state academic standards. They also are working to see evidence of fixed or growth mindset tendencies, which is certainly a work in progress.
In order to make your conference a productive one, here are some questions you might want to ask and some information you might consider sharing with the teacher. Preparing what you hope to ask and share will help make the most out of your time together.

Help Us Decide: Positive Discipline Parenting Class Interest
Dear Parents,
We are considering an opportunity to host a Positive Discipline parenting class led by Julietta Skoog. She is a trained Positive Discipline therapist and school psychiatrist and counselor. This class is designed to help parents learn effective discipline techniques that promote empowerment, self-reliance, and cooperation in children. The session will be interactive, with options to attend in person or online via Zoom. Before we make a decision, we would like to gauge your interest in participating in this valuable program. Your feedback is essential in helping us decide if we should move forward.
