Feel free to ask questions about each portfolio piece, as well as give your child compliments. During the goal-setting portion of the conference is a great time to listen to their personal goals and make suggestions based on what you observed from their portfolio and report card.
Due to the format of these conferences, you may have additional questions or concerns you wish to be addressed that are not discussed during the conference. PLEASE NOTE that I will be sending a follow-up survey after conferences. This survey will give you the opportunity to communicate to me any academic, social/emotion, or other issues you would like to further discuss that were not addressed in conferences due to the student-led format. I will then respond via email and/or phone call to further discuss with you.
Thank you for your partnership and looking forward to seeing you this week!
