Dear Parents,
Happy high five Friday! It was so much fun on the gate this morning
where Mr Hoover and I greeted so many parents and students with big high fives.
Thursday evening we also celebrated our music programme with a wonderful array
of school wide performances in our vertical music concert. I’m sure you
will join me in congratulating Ms Sarah and Ms Fiona for their hard work
preparing our Singing Raptors for their performance.
Raptorthon (this coming Sunday!)
Sunday, March 3rd at 7 AM is the annual Raptorthon. This year, since we
have a track, we are changing the event a little and it will be a 180 meter
swim then a 2 K run (Younger athletes can do a shorter run). Hope to see many
of you there to support our runners and swimmers.
Student Led Conference - Thursday 14 March
Student led conferences are all day of Thursday 14 March. No regular
classes will be held on this day. This Student Led Conference is the time
for your child to share their learning growth and future goals with you.
Please expect teachers to be involved as facilitator and not directly
involved in the discussions; on this day the main focus is between you and your
child. There will be multiple children and their families sharing their
learning at the same time in each classroom.
- The conference will take approximately 30 - 40
minutes in the classroom and 30 - 40 minutes with the specialist areas -
Music, Art, PE, Indian Studies and World Language.
- Your child will have a passport to lead you
through each area and will know whether to begin in the homeroom or in the
specialist areas.
- Students are responsible for leading the
conference and also take responsibility for their learning by sharing the
process with their parents.
- Supervision for AISC siblings will be in the
ES CIC only. Please note that this is only for enrolled AISC students. You
will need to make your own separate arrangements for younger children and
babies.
- Please do not hesitate to contact either the homeroom/specialist
teachers, or Dave, Calley or myself, should you have any questions
regarding these upcoming conferences.
If you have not already done so, please sign up for
your child’s Conference via Edmodo
