What is a #CtheSuccess Conference?
The #CtheSuccess Conference is a Student-Led event where your child takes the lead in sharing their academic progress and achievements with you during Parent-Teacher Conference day! This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with your child’s learning and growth in a meaningful way!
What Will Your Child Share?
Your child will present their Student Portfolio, which includes:
MAP Data: Insights into your child’s academic progress.
Classroom Reflection: A look into their learning experiences, successes, and challenges.
Behavior Reflection: An overview of their behavior and its impact on their learning.
Why Attend?
Empower Your Child: Let them take the reins and showcase their learning journey.
Celebrate Achievements: Acknowledge the successes and progress they’ve made.
Identify Areas for Growth: Collaborate with your child to set goals and determine areas for improvement.
Build Responsibility: Help your child become more accountable for their learning.
What Should You Do?
Bring Your Child: This is a collaborative experience, so it’s essential for your child to attend the conference.
Ask Questions: Discuss your child’s work, listen to their reflections, and ask how you can support their goals.
Focus on Growth: Encourage your child to talk about what they need from you to succeed.
Let’s Make Learning a Partnership!
We look forward to seeing you at the #CtheSuccess Conference and celebrating your child’s progress together!
