Conference Time!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 Triad conferences will take place on Thursday, November 24^th from 4:30-7:30 PM.  You do NOT have to schedule an appointment for this date as conferences will take place in an open house format. Families may attend any time during conference hours. Please plan to spend approximately 15 minutes per classroom. Teachers will be available to visit with students and families during this celebratory time. 

 The purpose of these conferences, led by the student, is to share what is happening in the classroom and to give students the opportunity to demonstrate, reflect on, and celebrate their own individual growth. Students will be prepared to showcase their learning from first term.  It is our hope that ALL families will attend the open house and participate in this opportunity with their child(ren).

 Mrs. Rogala will be available in the gym office to discuss skills worked on this term in Physical Education. Mrs. Ryckman invites students to visit the music room with their parents to show them the musical skills they have been learning. 

 As the focus is on celebrating learning, and due to the fact that there will be multiple families together in the classroom, this is not the ideal time to discuss any concerns you may have about your child.  If you would like to arrange to speak privately with your child’s classroom teacher please contact him/her directly at any time during the school year to arrange a meeting time. 

 Teachers will also be taking appointments on Friday, November 25^th during the morning from 9:15-11:15.  Appointments for this date can be booked using the “Linwood Conference Manager” online at http://linwood.sjsd.net/.  The system will open for bookings on Thursday, November 17^th at 8:30 AM.

 If you have any questions about our triad conferences, please call the school at 204-889-9356.

We look forward to seeing everyone!

 Sincerely,

 The Linwood Staff
