Fall conferences are next Wednesday and Thursday. Students will be dismissed at 11:23 on Wednesday, the 23rd, to give teachers time to prepare for conferences. On Wednesday, conferences begin at 3:30 and go until 7:30. Conferences on Thursday go from 8:00-7:00. Please use this link to sign up for individual conferences with your student's teachers. Conferences are 10 minutes in length. There is no school on Friday, October 25th. The LMS PTO is providing meals for teachers during conferences. Please use this link or this link to sign up to help them out.
Certainly conferences are a great opportunity for us to share information with families, but it is also a great time for you to share information with us and to ask questions. How does my student interact with the other students in class? How does what my student is doing in class relate to their lives outside of school and their future studies? What can we do at home to support our student's learning? What soft skills can my student improve on? Here are some things that would be helpful for you to know about my student. These are all great talking points for a successful conference. We hope to see you all next week.
Halloween is approaching and many students would like to know if they can wear costumes on the 31st. The short answer is yes with some conditions. Costumes may not distract or prevent learning. For example, wearing a giant inflatable t-rex costume makes is hard to sit in a desk or for those behind you to see. Students in PE or industrial arts need to be able to safely participate in those classes and may have to change out of their costumes. Costumes must comply with the District dress code. Masks, face paint, gore, and weapons (yes even light sabers) are not allowed.
