Chippewa Corner

Thursday, October 5th from 12pm-8pm

Friday, October 6th from 7:00am-12pm

There are no classes for students on these days.

Students are requested to attend conferences.

Here are some tips for parents for conferences:

Before the conference:

• Ask your child how she feels about school.
• Ask your child if there is anything that he wants you to talk about with his teacher.
• Prepare any questions you may want to ask, such as:
  1. What are my child's strongest and weakest subjects?
  2. Does my child hand homework in on time?
  3. Does my child participate in class?
  4. Does my child seem happy at school?
  5. What can I do at home to help?

During the conference:

• Be on time (or early) for the meeting.
• End the meeting on time. Other parents will probably have a conference after yours.
• Relax and be yourself.
• Stay calm during the conference.
• Ask the most important questions first.
• If your child receives special services, ask about your child's progress.
• Ask for explanations of anything you don't understand
• Ask your child's teacher for ways that you can help your child at home.
• Thank the teacher.

After the conference:

• Talk about the conference with your child.
• Talk about the positive points, and be direct about problems.
• Tell your child about any plans or next steps your child will take.
• Keep in touch with the teacher during the school year.
