We are pleased to announce the upcoming Student-Led Conferences scheduled for November 24 and 25 at Addams. Historically, our previous conference structure facilitated connections with fewer than 30% of our students’ families. To address this, we have restructured our approach to enhance connectivity through an open concept format across all junior high schools in District 54.
We request that the majority of our families register for the open format conference, which will afford them the opportunity to engage with all their child’s teachers in centralized locations. Families will be allocated a 40-45 minute window, providing them the flexibility to navigate the space and connect with their child’s educators.
In the infrequent circumstance that a family desires an individual conference with only one of their child’s teachers, a limited number of brief virtual (Zoom) or 1-on-1 in-person appointments will be made available on Monday early afternoon or Tuesday morning.
Below is the schedule we will follow:
Monday, November 24th
- 1-on-1 Virtual (Zoom) Conferences from 11:30-1:00pm
- Due to limited availability, please sign up for only one teacher appointment for this option.
- Open Format Conferences (In-person) from 1:30-4:30pm OR 5:00-7:30pm
- Teachers will be available to check in with parents regarding your child’s academic/behavior progress in 40-45-minute windows of time
- Parents will receive two emails from me to sign up for the Open Format afternoon or evening session. Please sign up for one time slot.
Tuesday, November 25th
- 1-on1 In-Person Conferences from 7:30-9:00am
- Due to limited availability, please sign up for only one teacher appointment for this option.
-
Sign up for Open Format conferences will begin on Monday, November 10th through Parent Square messages sent from Mr. Musselman.
Sign up for 1-on-1 Zoom/1-on1 In-Person conferences will begin on Wednesday, November 12th through Parent Square messages sent from each of your child’s teachers.
Please note that our upcoming conferences are focused on discussing your child’s progress and growth at Addams. While we know high school placement is on the mind of many families, those conversations can be directed to the high school at a later date.
