Our Goals
We wish to develop a partnership with each family to appreciate our students’ unique strengths, goals, and needs to foster growth. We will...
- Listen for family values
- Decide on the best way to communicate with each other (When, how often, for what)
Share relevant data about where a student is now and their next step
Walk away with a better sense of student strengths, passions, hopes and goals
Questions to think about ahead of time
- Tell me about your child...
- What would you like us to know?
- How does your child feel about school? Why?
- What do they love to do? What are they interested in?
- What's the best way for us to communicate this year?
- What is a hope or goal you have for your child this year?
