Goal Setting Conferences

Dear Carlin Families,

Please take a few minutes to read this important information about our upcoming goal setting conferences.  These conferences are your child’s first formal report card for the school year and they are meant to allow our teachers to engage you and your child in a conversation about their learning.  They will also ensure a plan is in place to help your child meet their goals.  It is important that each student attends their conference with the support of at least one family member.

Early Dismissal

Next week, on Thursday November 18^thstudents will be dismissed at 11:41 (Elementary) and 11:45 (Middle) to facilitate the conferences so please ensure that you have made arrangements for your children that day.  If your child is riding the school bus, please expect them to be dropped off at their usual drop-off location approximately 3 hours early.

While many conferences will take place on the early dismissal day, teachers will also need to book some conferences through other days next week and even into early the following week.  If you are having trouble finding a time that works, please reach out to your child’s teacher to get assistance.
