Things to Discuss - 

BES School-Parent Compact - briefly review if parent was present at last conference.

• This is a Title 1 Requirement, so we need to discuss this with every parent. This is a great opportunity to discuss the importance of regular attendance.
• This is a great opportunity to discuss the importance of reading at home.

Standards Based Report Card (2nd and 3rd) -  briefly review if parent was present at last conference.

Discuss areas of strength and concern based on classroom assessments/observations.

·       ME - Meets Expectations: The student is performing at an expected level based on exposure and development.

·       LS - Learning Skill: The student is making progress, but there are areas that the student is not meeting appropriate expectations.

·       AC - Area of Concern: The student has a significant deficiency in this area, and we are engaged in additional, targeted, interventions. 

Make sure that the parents are aware of the concern, the interventions, how the interventions will be monitored, how the parent can support the interventions at home, and the timeline for additional conversations with the parents about the interventions.

 

iReady Winter Diagnostic (Table 2 has winter norms)

·       Discuss the student’s iReady Winter Diagnostic scores.

·       Discuss that the final  iReady Fall Diagnostic will be taken in March and we want students to be ready for end of year assessments.
