Please make sure to sign up for your student led conference time if you have not done so already. Emails have been sent to the emails listed in Powerschool by your student(s) RISE Group Leader about sign up for Student Led Conferences. Text messages with link went out last week as well. Although we know it is a big change, we are excited to offer this opportunities for our students and families during this school year and appreciate your participation! Please see the email example below that will be coming from your student's leader. Our student are working hard to prepare slides and their leadership portfolio to share with their family about their individualized plan of study. Student's recieve a semester elective credit for their Relationships and Personal Development course that is taught during RISE Time. Participation in student led conferences will be for a grade in this course.

There will be a sign posted at the school entrance to let you know which teacher you are meeting with during your assigned time and where to go!

We understand many families may not be able to meet at the assigned time. If this is the case, the conference needs to be completed in November for the 2nd quarter grade. Please contact Mrs. Henning to make arrangments for a time that is convinient to your familly. jhenning@usd462.org. Thank you!

School provided transportation will run approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes later to pick up locations on the scheduled late start days. We will have support staff available to watch students at the normal start time for families in need of child care. Please reach out if you would like to make alternate arrangments for your student for transporation or care, we want to make sure everyone is able to be in attendance on late start days. For questions or more information please contact your building principal.

Families,

Please have a conversation with your student about appropriate language and time/place. We are seeing a growing use of inappropriate language and horseplay (pushing and shoving or messing around with friends and knocking into other people in the hall) occuring at school. We have had a large number is discipline referrals the past two weeks for these behaviors. We would appreciate if you could help us to decrease these behaviors at school by having proactive a conversation at home. Thank you!

In an effort to increase communication, you will receive a weekly email update in this manner. You can also expect to receive school reach calls and text messages throughout the school year and can find more information through our website and social media outlets. If you are not receiving school reach calls, please contact the school so we can update your information. Please don't hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year.
