 We are excited for our upcoming Student-led Conference on November 4 and 5. The purpose of a Student-led Conference is for students to report on their achievements and challenges, to celebrate successes and make plans for future success. In addition, the Student-led Conference provides an opportunity for your child to improve communication skills and discuss his or her understanding of his or her learning process.
On the night of the conference, your student will have a prepared portfolio that should be used to help your student reflect on their learning throughout the first term and set goals for future success. The following are important reminders for parents on the night of the conference:
- Have your student show the entire folder during the first half hour of the
conference. He or she should have information from each class.
- Discuss your student's successes and help them reflect on why success took place.
- Have your student reflect on where they need to improve and help them set a goal.
- Ask questions to help you understand the assignments or projects in the folder.
- The second half hour is for you to visit your student's other seven teachers. Please take the
opportunity to visit them. Our teachers are hoping to talk to you. Please visit them after reviewing your student’s portfolio.
By following these tips, Student-led Conferences can be a meaningful night for you and your students. Thanks for your support of the conference and your support of Lakeridge Junior High School.
