    Dear Loma & CT Parents:

     
    CT Students Make Honor Roll
    Students earning Honor Roll standing have shown both academic skill and development of the "habits of mind" which lay many of the foundations of academic success.  These students have earned a 3.5 or above overall GPA for the first quarter.  Congratulations!

    Parent Conferences are coming!   For Loma Prieta Elementary only!

    No minimum days for CT English students next week 11/17-11/21/14

     

    Parent teacher conferences are an important time for you and your child’s teacher to collaborate on shared goals.  You are the expert on your child, and the teacher is the expert on teaching at this grade level.  Parents and teachers both bring extremely valuable perspectives and skills to the conference.  This is a time for two-way communication.  You can share your expertise on how your child encounters the world, and your child’s teacher will share their perspective on how your child approaches both the curriculum and the social environment of school.  Collaboration sometimes requires compromise; striking a balance of ideas is often in the best interest of your child.  It is important that you and your child’s teacher have a shared understanding about what will be expected, and what support will be needed, for the coming trimester.  

     

    Here are some thoughts on how to prepare:

     

    Before the conference:

    1.  Think about what questions you have and make a list of your top 3-5.  Conferences are time limited so it is important to prioritize.

     

    2.  Ask your child what they would like you to ask about, learn about, or discuss with their teacher.  

     

    During the conference:

    1.  Review the work samples your teacher provides and understand the strengths and areas for growth outlined by the teacher.

     

    2.  We have a new report card system.  Some things will look different and some the same.  The indicators are of where your child is right now.  It’s a snap shot for if they are on target by grade level and in comparison to the rest of the class.

     

    3.  Ask for help if there are challenges you are having with your child.  You are not alone.  Your child’s teacher is an ally and a professional.  If there are questions that can’t be answered immediately, teachers are well positioned to find resources and strategies for your child’s individual needs.

     

    After the conference:

    4.  Talk with your child about the conversation with his/her teacher and highlight the positives the teacher mentions about your child.

     

    5.  Follow up with your child’s teacher and make a date for any planned follow up conversations.
