I've had some questions about our conference scheduling protocols and the timeline so I thought I'd fill you all in! A conference scheduling preference sheet went on home Thursday, January 6th. You listed your first, second and third choices of dates and times to meet with me. The scheduling sheet was due on Monday, January 10th. We will meet as a staff on Friday, January 14th to schedule all conferences. We schedule back-to-back conferences for families with multiple children attending Woodland. If only one or two choices or limited availability are given, your first choice may not be possible. Sometimes a certain time is chosen as a first choice by many. I try to make everyone's first choice work to the best of my ability. When all conferences are scheduled, a conference confirmation sheet will be sent home on Wednesday, January 19th. Please sign and return the confirmation letting me know you plan to attend. If the date and time do not work, please contact me as soon as possible to reschedule. Students will be working on a conference project that they will be prepared to share with their families, so student attendance is highly encouraged!!! Conferences are scheduled in twenty minute blocks and I try hard to honor start and end times. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you and discussing your child's progress in first grade!
Thanks,
