US Conference Day
Thursday, October 24
Dear Upper School families,
I wanted to take a moment today to say that we are looking forward to seeing many of you at Upper School Conferences on October 24. If you'd still like to schedule a conference, please do so through through signup.com at https://signup.com/go/DaBVyNy. If no convenient times are available, you can always reach out to the teacher directly to schedule a call or meeting for another day.
Last Friday did mark the midpoint of our first semester. This is not a formal grade reporting period but a useful guidepost for students, families, and faculty as they plan for the academic year. Grades are cumulative through the semester, with each semester represented equally on student transcripts. Although it is still somewhat early in the semester and individual assessments might carry a disproportionate jweight as compared to the work of the semester, this is an ideal time to look at your student's grades on Schoology and ask questions if you see an area of particular concern. There is still plenty of time to turn around a slow start to the year and the faculty is ready to help develop strategies for success.
You will receive narrative comments on your child's progress before the conference day. Please review them with your student before your conferences with your child's teachers. If you have any questions, please do come to conferences or reach out via email to touch base with your child's teachers at any time. As always, our goal is to work in partnership with you towards your child's success.
Sincerely,
Sara Rubinstein
