Dear Parents,
We are looking forward to meeting with parents during the upcoming Parent-Teacher & Student-Led Conferences on:
March 19, 4:30-7:30 pm (in-person)
March 20, 9:00-1:00 pm (online)
The online booking system will open at 8am on Saturday, March 14 and will close at noon on Thursday, March 19.
Conferences for Gr. 7-9 will follow the same format as the fall. Of note: If your students is in Gr. 9 Regular program (Mme Facchina), Gr. 8 French Immersion (Mme Galloway) or Gr. 8 Late Immersion (Mme French), please call the office to book a meeting time, if needed.
Conferences for Grades 4–6 will look a little different this time. Families will not need to sign up in advance. Student‑led conferences will take place on Thursday evening in a drop‑in format at the school and families are welcome to attend anytime between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. On Friday, teachers will connect directly with specific families to schedule individual meetings, as needed. If a family has specific concerns they would like to discuss, they are welcome to contact the teacher directly by email to inquire about a meeting on Friday.
*Families that wish to meet with Mr. Schlegel (who has been working in Ms. McMillan’s class in her absence), can email the office for a conference, if needed.
Student-Led conferences provide parents with an authentic opportunity to experience seeing work samples showing evidence of their student’s learning. Students have been working hard at articulating their progress and are keen to share highlights of their work.
If needed, teachers may reach out to specific families in advance to schedule conference times based on individual student needs.
Conferences are booked through the MyCBE / PowerSchool conference booking application, “My School Conferences”. Instructions for parents to schedule conferences are posted on the Parent-Teacher Conferences page of the Elboya website at: https://elboya.cbe.ab.ca/teacher-conference.
If you are new to School Conferences and Microsoft Teams, please review the School Conferences Parent Support.
The link to join Microsoft Teams Virtual meeting will be embedded in your email confirmation.
Note: No School for Students on Friday, March 20.
Thank you for supporting your student’s learning journey.
