Sixth, seventh and eighth graders have used portions of advisory and/or classroom periods to construct a portfolio of work collected from their classes. Students have also set goals for each class and determined an action plan for how to reach these goals. Classroom teachers and the advisor have guided the students, step by step through the process.

This year’s SLCs will occur on Thursday, February 6th (3:30 – 7:00 pm) and Friday, February 7th (8:00 am – 3:00 pm). All parents and guardians are welcomed and encouraged to attend. 

Conferences will occur in the advisor's homeroom and are scheduled for 30 minutes to allow for the student to share their goals, their strengths, their challenges, and to also answer questions.
