COMMUNITY NEWS
STUDENT LED CONFERENCES
Thank you stars
Thank you to the many parents and family members who attended their son's/daughter's student led conference. The students seemed initially nervous, but quickly rose to the occasion, demonstrating responsibility and leadership in their presentation of learning. If you were not able to attend on Thursday, please contact your son's/daughter's homeroom teacher for an alternative time this week for your child to present their learning to you.

This was the first time we have attempted student led conferences on this scale before, so we are eager from the experience. If you attended a MS conference, we would appreciate if you would take this short survey so we can continue to improve the experience next year.
