Part of The Bird on Fire’s What’s in the News
By 8th-Grade Blogger Soleil Antle
On Friday the 27th of March the school suspended classes because of student-led conferences. On days like these, we get to have the day off and only have to come in for about 20 minutes to have a conference with our parents and advisers. We sit down and talk about how the school year is going, what we are excelling at, what we need some help with and open up the discussion to questions that anyone might have in general. Mrs. Torres, the eighth-grade adviser and Palm Valley School science and language teacher, says, “Student-led conferences are a phenomenal way to give students a voice to advocate for themselves and an opportunity for parents and teachers to learn from the student.”
If you missed conferences, it’s not too late, most teachers will still find time to meet and confer.
