Dear Parents and Guardians,
This year the grade 8 team is slightly modifying the traditional format for the Student Led Conferences at CSS. On the evening of Thursday, November 17th, as has been the traditional practice at CSS, students will have the opportunity to show their work and progress over the course of the term. However, on the morning of Friday, November 18th we are creating a time to accommodate parents and their students with whom we would like to meet to discuss first term successes, areas of growth and to set goals for the 2nd term. We have chosen this hybrid format in response to feedback we have received from parents who would like to have a more in-depth discussion with teachers on their child’s progress.
Most of you will not be contacted to book a meeting time with your child's teachers at this time. If this is the case, we look forward to seeing you on Thursday evening. For those parents with whom we are wishing to book a time slot to meet with your child's curriculum teachers, please respond to the email sent out today with this letter. We ask you to email your child's homeroom teacher to schedule an appointment that works for you between 8:30am and 1pm Friday (please list 3 possibilities, as your first choice may be taken). If you would still like to meet, but Friday morning does not work, another meeting can be arranged in the future, at a time that works for both you and the teachers.
Note, that we have about 15 slots available on Friday and appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Thank you,
The grade 8 team
