“Student-Led"
Conferences
What are they? When are they?
During the course of this school year, students at West Senior High have had the opportunity to create an electronic portfolio to document their growth. Working in Advisory, students have collected evidence of their learning and development. On Wednesday, May 2, they will share this information in a 15-20 minute student-led conference, which will take place sometime during the usual West Senior High conference time
between 4:30pm - 7:30pm.
Student-led conferences allow students the opportunity to lead a conversation about their progress and goals for high school and beyond. This conference will replace the traditional spring Parent/Teacher conferences. It has been approved at the district level and is now a graduation requirement. Parents/guardians are encouraged to ask questions and engage in conversation after the presentation and clear guidelines will be given to parents/guardians the day of the conference to help facilitate the conversations.
We are excited about this new opportunity for students to share their learning and growth at West Senior High School.
High school students may request the opportunity to “test out” of any high school class they select. A student who successfully tests out of a course will receive credit toward graduation for the course.
The option to test out will be offered at TC West Senior High on Thursday, May 10, 2012 - 7:00-9:00 p.m. and also on Saturday, May 12, 2011 - 9:00-11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Applications will be available in the counseling office.
Deadline to return these forms to your counselors will be Monday, April 23, 2012.
