How to Prepare for Parent Conferences

Updated Sun, Oct 15th

Parent Conferences are an important time to discuss your child's strengths and areas of challenge and also make a plan to best support them. Here are some suggestions on how to make the most of your time: 

1. Write down quesitons beforehand.

2. Take a notepad and something to write with so you leave with correct information. 

3. Use this time to discuss your child and share any important information with your teacher about previous years experiences. 

4. Share this information with your child when you get home. Celebrate milestones and discuss challenges. 

5. Stay in touch with your teacher through email, phone calls, or schedule a follow-up meeting. 

Here are some sample questions to ask in your conference:

*Is my child working up to his/her ability? How are they performing socially with peers? 

*Is there anything we can do at home to further support our child?

*What skills will my child be expected to master by the end of the year in Reading, Math, or Writing?

*What can I do to make sure they are ready for the state testing in May? 

Don't forget we are a team and want the best for your child! Looking forward to seeing you all for conference week.

Volunteers needed for 5210

Updated Wed, Oct 4th

Are you interested in helping students try new foods? Each month, our Program Specialist Lisa Chin, will be here on campus with samples of food for the students to try. She is looking for volunteers to help her.  Here are the dates for the tastings at Lynhaven:

Friday Oct 13- Asian Pears

Friday Dec 15- Persimmons

Friday Jan 12- Grapefruit

Friday Feb 16- Beets

Friday March 16-Snap Peas

Friday May 18- Blackberries

Each parent would only have to volunteer once, we just need someone committed to save the date. Lunch is 11:31am-12:50pm and the parent would need to prep the produce (wash, place into sample cups) about 30 minutes prior to the lunch period.

It would be helpful to have the parent volunteer shadow Lisa in October (or a later tasting date) to see how it’s done. The shadowing isn’t necessary, but helpful if they have any questions. Otherwise she can just talk about it in person or over the phone before the tasting. If you are interested, please contact Lisa!
