Scholar-Led Conferences/No School

Families are critical partners in each scholar’s learning.

A Scholar-Led Conference is different from a traditional parent/teacher conference. The purpose of a Scholar-Led Conference is for children to summarize their strengths and next steps for learning based on their individual work and achievement data. Scholars and families should leave the conference on the same page about individual strengths and areas of focus.
