Student-Led Conferences

Dear Mom and Dad,

     Please come to my conference.  Our time will be on Tuesday, October 21 or Thursday, October 23.  (My invitation will be coming home tomorrow.... Thursday, October 16th) You will be surprised to hear that I will have a big part in it!  I have set a reading and math goal for this year and want you to hear how I think I can reach it.  Also, I'll have a few more things I want to tell you.  I'll have my last year's PASS scores to give you and, of course, my report card.


Love,
Your son or daughter

P.S.  If we have time I'll show you around the Book Fair!
