Student-Led Conferences

Student-led conferences are designed to allow students to take the lead role in showing what they have learned and reflect on their growth over the school-year.  CES held our first session of student-led conferences the past week and were extremely pleased with the results.

Fourth and fifth grade student-led conferences.
Student-led conferences are certainly not the only way you will be learning about your child's progress throughout the year.  Traditional parent-teacher conferences will be held in October and you are welcome to request a conference at anytime.

We appreciate the support from our parents as we stepped outside of our comfort zones and tried something new.  We believe student-led conferences gave our students voice and responsibility in their learning.  The feedback you provided was extremely helpful and we are looking forward to continuing with these conferences again next spring.
