Sometime during the week of February 2nd, you will be receiving communication from your student’s homeroom teacher to set up time to come in with your student for Student Led Conferences which will be held on Thursday, March 26th. 

This is an Eckstein-only no-school day to allow teachers to host these conferences.  Student- Led Conferences are an opportunity for students to share their goals, progress and interests. Parents/guardians will listen actively, ask questions, and comment on student work. Students have been collecting artifacts of their work over the few months, setting goals for learning, and reflecting on their progress. This will all culminate with your coming to school for a presentation by your student. 

Please note- this is not a Parent/Teacher conference you may be used to attending in elementary school. Student-Led is just that. The student decides what progress looks like to them and what goals, work, interests, and progress they are excited to share with you.  Each conference is allotted 20-30 minutes, with multiple conferences being held at the same time. The homeroom teacher is the host, but the student runs the conference. We look forward to hosting you!
