You will receive a yellow paper note home this week letting you know if your student will be a part of the October conference OR a green note home if you will be later in November. See below of the information that went out earlier this year.

Reminder: USD 443 has made adjustments to Parent Teacher Conferences to allow for more flexibility of meeting time. Conferences will be held in October and November during the first semester and in February and April during the second semester. Teachers will be meeting with each student's parent at least one of these times during each semester.

Parents, come visit our library during conferences to find your child's dot! Read the story below again with your child! Here is more information about International Dot Day:

International Dot Day, a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on September 15, 2009.

The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe.

Each year on International Dot Day – with the help of people just like you – the inspiration continues. What started as a story in the pages of a book is transforming teaching and learning around the world as people of all ages re-discover the power and potential of creativity in all they do.
