Parents as Partners Conferences

Posted by

We are excited to welcome you to our Parents as Partners conversations for grade 1-7 students next week. These meetings are the beginning of an important conversation about your child’s learning journey. They provide an informal opportunity to discuss your child’s strengths, reflect on goals for the year, and share information that will help support a successful school year.

Most importantly, this gathering is a chance to strengthen the partnership between home and school. Through open communication and collaboration, we can work together to support each child’s growth, well-being, and success. We look forward to seeing you there!

Kindergarten Students in Divisions 14 & 15 will NOT be participating in these conferences as they have already had their welcome meetings.
Please note there is an early dismissal on Wednesday, September 23rd at 1:51pm for all students.
