Hi Folks,
We are hoping you had a lovely, restful weekend. We are excited to back in the groove this week; settling back into our routines after IslandWood is an invigorating feeling.
 
We are really looking forward to meeting with you Thursday or Friday at your child’s Goal-Setting Conference.
 
Goal-Setting Conferences gives us the opportunity to sit down with children and their parents to talk about school life, home life and learning. We will be setting goals together that relate to different parts of the child’s life. To prepare for the conference students will be sitting down this week at school to complete a Goal-Setting form. This conference is focused on your child and setting goals in collaboration with the teachers. It is not a parent-teacher conference, so we are asking you to make sure your child knows in advance any questions you are going to ask, and that you are working with your child to explore goals. We are always happy to schedule a different time to meet with just parents if there are concerns that need to be addressed away from your child.
 
We have a Turquesa family potluck planned for this weekend at the Staff's house. We are noticing a low RSVP rate. Please RSVP on Bloomz or directly to me or Ms. Alyx so that we can determine how many families are definitely planning to attend.
 
Children should be bringing their Inside Out Project boxes to school today. If your child is not bringing their project today, please make sure it comes to school tomorrow. Expect a SeeSaw alert that shares your child's presentation of their box. These are a big deal!
 
Please let us know if you have any questions. 
 
Thanks,
Nicole and Alyx
