Junior School Progress & Goal-Sharing Conferences - October 23-24, 2024

By Mr. Alex Ross, Director of Learning, Junior School

Junior school parents and their children will have the opportunity to meet with teachers in person to discuss learning progress and goal sharing the afternoon of Wednesday, October 23 and all day Thursday, October 24. To facilitate this, junior school students will be dismissed at noon October 23 and there are no classes October 24. Conferences are in-person and on-campus. (Families may request to change their appointment from in-person to online by contacting the teacher directly after registration is complete.)

We encourage our students to be part of the dialogue about their learning and to be actively working to make choices that will improve their learning. Meetings may include students sharing their goals and showing progress and conversations between families and teachers. These meetings help set the stage for progress throughout the year and are paired with the Junior School Learning Update, which will be available October 9 at 4pm.
