4th Quarter ILP Conferences & Early Release Day
Your child’s Individual Learning Plan (ILP) is developed each quarter and includes individual learning outcomes your student is expected to achieve by the end of that quarter. This serves as both a visual indicator of progress and an agenda for personal conferences with the student’s teachers and parents. ILP goals are developed each quarter during a student/parent/teacher ILP conference. The conference includes a review of the student’s progress and goals for the upcoming quarter. Progress on the learning outcomes is noted in the PowerSchool program. Participation in the ILP Conference is required. Students might not be promoted to the next grade level and/or graduate without this involvement.

If your student is struggling with the loss of a loved one, either recent or in the past please let us know so we can provide some support. We will be offering grade-level grief groups that will consist of six sessions, meeting once per week for 20-30 minutes during the school day. In this group, we will discuss feelings we have when we lose someone we love, ways to cope with our loss/what we can do to feel better and most importantly celebrate/honor the memories of our loved ones. Students can learn from one another and build relationships with others who understand what loss feels like. If you would like your student to participate see the attached Grief Support Group Permission Slip. If you have any questions regarding the group, please feel free to contact me anytime. I look forward to working with your child and helping him or her through this process.

Sincerely,
