Dear 3rd-5th Grade Families,

This Fall, we will have students complete a Student Engagement Survey, which aligns with the WCPSS Strategic Plan and Briarcliff’s School Improvement Plan (SIP). This will provide us with vital information in our efforts to ensure all students feel welcome, challenged, and supported. The survey will be completed in classrooms by November 20th. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about your student taking the survey. Mrs. Nelson can be emailed directly to answer these questions (lnelson5@wcpss.net)

Over the next month teachers will be reaching out to you to set up a parent conference. All families should sign up for an in-person or virtual conference to learn more about how your student's social and academic progress in school.

What to expect during your conference:

• A chance to talk about your student

• Hear about your students' strengths and opportunities for growth (social-emotional and academic)

• Chance to ask questions
