iReady Testing
I-Ready ELA and Math assessments are wrapping up this week. Students will need to complete the assessments this week.
Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences February 6th-9th 12:45 PM through 3:45 PM.
These conferences are an important opportunity for you to meet with your child's teacher(s) and discuss their academic progress and any concerns. You may be contacted by your child's teacher to set up a conference. Please understand that due to limited time, teachers are unable to conference with every student. If you are not invited to a conference but would like to meet with your child's teachers, please contact the office at (831)464-5660 or email nbmsoffice@suesd.org to set up a meeting.
If you are asked to attend a conference, please make every effort to attend as it is an important opportunity to discuss your child's progress. It is important that the student attends the conference as well. We understand that some parents may not be able to attend the conference in person so we will make sure to have virtual options available if requested.
During the conference, the teacher(s) will discuss your child's academic performance, including strengths and areas of growth.
We value your partnership in your child's education and believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for student success. We hope that you will be able to attend the conference and look forward to meeting with you.
