If your
child is failing a course at the nine week period, the report card will print a
comment asking for you to set up a conference with the teachers. We
will need to discuss the reasons for your child's failure and what can be done
about it. We will try to set up some guidelines both at school and at home
that might help the student become more successful. It might be
advantageous to have the child sit in on the conference or a part of it so they
can participate by giving their own input as to the problems they are
encountering. It is important that we do this early in the year;
conferences held in May don't help a child who has been struggling all
year. To schedule a conference you can call the school secretary at
805-5100. Please come with questions and observations about your child so
we can spend the time profitably. Setting up a plan of action and adhering
to it is what we need to concentrate on during that period of time together. |
