All day yesterday and today the ES hallways and classrooms were full of enthusiastic students and supportive parents coming together with our committed faculty during Student Led Conferences!
We saw that parents were actively participating in their child’s learning by asking questions, giving students feedback, and celebrating the learning with their child(ren). All of us in the ES hope that the Student Led Conference process provided opportunities for you to understand your child’s successes and challenges at school as well gave you further insight into the educational program being offered by ISB (click here to revisit the math and literacy overviews shared with you in January 2021). In addition, we hope the time spent on campus gave you the opportunity to ask questions or seek clarity from teachers, counselors and/or administrators. If you continue to have any questions about your child’s learning at ISB, please reach out and let us know.
With Student Led Conferences behind you, it’s important to reflect on the conference experience at home with your child and work together to develop a plan to implement any strategies that were discussed and/or goals that were set during the conference. Supporting your child effectively as they work towards their goals requires periodic check-ins and ongoing feedback…having the goals visible in your home such as listed on the fridge or posted in the child’s homework area or bedroom can be a great way to remind you to follow with your child in the weeks and months to come.
Thanks again for participating in Student Led Conferences…they are an essential piece of our ongoing home-school partnership!
Your partner in education,
