Dear Parents,

We would like to say a huge thank you to Ms. Babs and Ms. Teena for organizing an engaging, educational, and fun Litweek. The students loved the author visits, the activities each day, the masked reader, and the character dress up day (just to name a few). We know the planning for the author visit begins nearly a year in advance, and we are so thankful to our library staff for putting together these meaningful events to support the love of reading. We also want to thank all of the faculty who volunteered in various ways to help during Litweek.

Student Led Conferences

Student Led Conferences are led by the students from Early Years through Grade 5. The Student-Led Conference provides opportunities for your child to take the lead and show you all they know about their own learning. It is a time for your child to share their growth directly with you.

Please expect teachers to be present as a facilitator (if needed) with the main focus being between you and your child. Students will have 30 minutes in their homeroom to showcase their work. Students may also show you their work in the specialist areas before or after their homeroom time slot.

 

Supervision for siblings will be available on the playground. Please note that this is only for enrolled AISC students. You will need to make your own separate arrangements for younger children and babies.

 

Parents need to be vaccinated to come on campus. Unvaccinated parents can request a virtual conference.

 

Enjoy the weekend. 

 

Regards,

Lynn Schneider and Dave Allen
