Dear Families,
Home/School communication is vital for student achievement. In order to promote a positive start to the school year, we’d like to communicate with you our plan for Open House/Beginning of the Year Conferences. Students and their parents are invited to attend a specific, scheduled conference with the teacher prior to the start of the year.
Preschool - 6th Grade Students & Families:
We will be having a scheduled Parent/Teacher Conference to start the year for students from preschool through 6th grades. Using the necessary online conference sign-up site listed below, you’ll be asked to select a 15-minute time with your child’s teacher to be held on Monday, August 21st between 1:00pm and 7:30pm. Students are welcome and encouraged to attend. They are the key players in the team approach that we’ll begin building during this conference. Please sign up for a time that works for you. Due to the scheduled nature of these meetings, please sign up for a conference with your child’s homeroom teacher. If you are unsure of who your child’s homeroom teacher is, please contact the school’s office.
We hope this time gives families and teachers a chance to start building the home/school relationship, understand the goals of the specific grade level, and will serve as an opportunity to ask questions or share information that will help your child achieve success to its greatest extent. This will still be a great time to bring in school supplies prior to the first day. Our goal is to connect with all of our elementary families. Please help us reach as many students/families as possible by adding this Beginning of the Year Conference date to your calendar.
We look forward to continued collaboration with students and families we serve.
Sincerely,
Phillip Eastman, Principal, Norway Intermediate
Katie Bauder, Principal, Keystone Elementary
