Conferences

Students and teachers have been busy preparing for student led conferences next week. Classes have been focusing on setting individual academic goals and learning behavior goals. Since these conferences involve discussing these goals, it is important that students attend so they have a voice in the conversation.

Conferences at the elementary level are always such a wonderful time to partner with our families. It’s a time for students to see that their teachers and parents are on the same team, cheering them on and supporting them at school and at home. Our teachers bring professional knowledge and a deep understanding of each child to these conversations, and we value the collaboration that happens when families and educators come together.

Columbus Day Holiday - NO SCHOOL

We have had many students arriving 10-15 minutes prior to the doors opening in the mornings. We are not able to provide supervision until 8:50 when we open the doors, as teachers are in meetings. If your child walks or rides a bike to school, please do not have them arrive prior to 8:50. If you drive your child to school, please remain with them at the entrance or in your car until 8:50. We want to make sure our students stay safe. Thank you!

Please see attachment for scheduling Parent/Teacher Conferences on October 9th & 10th.

October 9th and 10th are D303 Parent/Teacher Conferences. Unfortunately we are unable to meet with every family within the time constraints of the day. If you would like to meet for a conference with one of your child's specials teacher due to concerns or questions you have, please reach out via email to set up a time.

Parent Education & Empowerment Series: Guiding Students from Avoidance to Achievement

Join us for an engaging and practical three-part series designed to help parents navigate the growing challenges of anxiety and school avoidance. Led by Dr. Megan Schmitz of Vital Living Wellness Solutions, these sessions will give parents tools to:

• Recognize anxiety in their child and understand its impact on learning and growth.

• Learn strategies to balance empathy and compassion with boundaries and expectations.

• Gain concrete tools to support positive school attendance and resilience.

Where: St. Charles North High School Auditorium
Time: 6:00–8:00 p.m.
Dates: October 8 • October 22 • November 12

This series is designed to strengthen the partnership between families and schools, offering tools and strategies that foster belonging, perseverance, and achievement. Together, we can create the support and consistency children need to thrive. Please note: An interpreter/translator will be available for families who need language support.
