SPRING CONFERENCES
You will want to begin planning for your Spring Conferences starting now. Please give due diligence to make contact with all parents to review their learner's data and goal setting. Keep documentation of parents who do/do not attend conferences. During your time together, I would encourage you to listen for in case a parent would like to make a change in house for the 2022-2023 school year, wants specialized testing, or is considering retention. Please write these requests down and EMAIL them to Chantel and Leigh Ann. This makes sure that we have a second layer of accountability as we transition to the next school year. In addition, remind parents that we DO NOT take requests for house colors or designers and we do our best to have siblings in the same house, but cannot always guarantee it. We do our very BEST to keep as many learners in their house when we loop up, but we sometimes have to move learners when balancing our building each year. Parents WILL be notified by campus administration before Meet the Designer Night, if their learner is being moved. Please ask me if you have any questions!!! COACHES CORNER
Have you explored the app Books? Consider downloading the “Everyone Can Create” Series. There is a “Teacher’s Guide” for early learners and older learners. It has some great ideas about how to integrate creativity in lessons. You might also be interested in “Everyone Can Create in Science”. It has lots of great ideas specifically for Science. It’s a great time to go outside for a photo walk and use photos, drawing, video and be creative as we use our school as a tool.
Please use this link to book a time with me so we can collaborate.
