Student Led Conferences: A Message from Ms. Lofstrand

Parents,

CSD grade reporting for Term 5 for K-5 school is through Student-Led Conferences.  We are excited to incorporate SLCs into our work here at Westchester!  An Expeditionary Learning Core Practice is to communicate studentachievement in various ways; one of them being student-led conferences.  Because students run the conferences (with teacher support), these conferences will take place during the school day on March 28th and 29th.  I want to give everyone enough notice about these conferences so that work-schedules might be accommodated.  If you are still unable to attend, please email me (rlofstrand@csdecatur.net).  

Please click on this Sign-Up Genius link: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F094BA5AA2DAAFA7-student 
Find your teacher's time slots (each teacher has 5 slots every 20 minutes) and sign-up.  
More information about these SLC's will be sent out closer to March 28th and 29th.  Contact me if you have any questions/concerns.
