On Wednesday, October 17th, and Thursday, October 18th parents are invited to meet with their child’s teacher. The purpose of these early conferences is to provide an opportunity for you to share your child’s education and for the teacher to explain his/her expectations. Together, you may wish to discuss:
- Goals for your child’s learning, defining areas of success and concern
- Homework expectations
- Communication between home and school
- Work habits and attitude towards learning
- Appropriate behavior expectations
To provide time for conferences, students will be dismissed at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, October 17th and at 2:00 pm on Thursday, October 18th. All conferences will be booked using the Delta School District’s Parent Connect Interview Booking System. Information will be sent home to families soon explaining how to use this online system to book parent/teacher conferences.
It takes a meaningful, learning partnership between home and school to educate a child in today’s society. The parent/teacher conferences are a fantastic way to begin that partnership between home and school. The staff at Jarvis Elementary thank you for being a part of our community of learners!
