Kindergarten Spring Conferences
Around this time every school year, kindergarten teachers typically offer optional spring conferences to parents/guardians to review end of the year assessments and discuss any social, emotional, and/or academic concerns that they may have as the student moves on to first grade. Due to the current pandemic, kindergarten teachers are unable to conduct end of the year assessments as in prior years.
Kindergarten students are largely social, hands-on learners, are less independent, and remote learning has presented some unique challenges. The goal of the kindergarten team during these past few months has been to provide a mix of familiar routines that students are used to doing in the classroom along with new instructional activities presented electronically. However, kindergarten teachers realize that parents/guardians have been integrally involved in the instruction of their children. We hope that you have felt supported throughout this remote learning process, and the District assures you that teachers will continue to communicate any concerns they may have regarding the academic needs of your child.
In place of formal conference scheduling, please know that teachers are readily available to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have regarding the academic preparedness and/or the emotional/social health of your child. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any concerns, please contact your child’s kindergarten teacher.
