REMINDER: LEARNER-LED CONFERENCES
BEGIN TODAY, Friday, October 9!
Tonight, your child will bring home ECHO grades and artifacts they have created in class to engage in a conversation with you about their academic progress, NWEA scores, strengths, and areas of growth. Your child will lead this conversation with you, at your home.
After this conversation, if you have a concern about your child’s academic progress, you can request a virtual conference with a specific teacher by sending an email. No face to face drop in conferences will be hosted this fall.
We are here to help! Find staff phone and email address here: tinyurl.com/mechsstaff
