March 21, 2018 Principal’s Note  Dear Parents, As you know, we will host our Student-Led Conferences on April 6. Sign-ups are now open via PowerSchool. There is a short video to help you sign up below. We look forward to seeing you at ASW for this important event! Warmly, Jen Munnerlyn ASW Elementary Principal Coming Up: Friday, March 23- Spotlight On Assembly- Grade 3 (8:45 in the Theatre) Thursday-Monday, March 29-April 2- No School Friday, April 6- Student-Led Conferences Calendar Questions? Please check the ASW Website Calendar for the most up-to-date postings each week! Student-Led Conferences- Friday, April 6th The Elementary will host Student-Led Conferences on Friday, April 6th. What can you expect? Students will lead parents through their own individual learning experiences. Each classroom will host up to 4 student led-conferences per hour time slot. There will be 15 minute breaks between each session to allow parents to move to their next child’s conference (and to allow the teacher to ready the room for the next group). The in-class part of the conference will last up-to 45 minutes, which can either be preceded or followed by visits to the student’s single-subject classes and other learning spaces around the school. (There are no separate sign-ups for these visits.) Conferences may be conducted in English or in a student’s home language, whichever is best for students and parents. Things to keep in mind: All parents and students are expected to attend their conference time. We will not have regular school on April 6- although attendance at the scheduled conference (during the times you sign up for) is mandatory. Teachers (and students!) will not host Student-Led Conferences outside of this already- established day. **As I mentioned at Back to School night in August, parents are welcome to schedule other times to meet with teachers regarding their children. The conferences scheduled on the ES Calendar- when students are not attending a regular school day- require student and parent presence to ensure we meet our collaborative learning goals. Sign-Ups are Now Open! DIRECTIONS FOR SIGNING UP: Signing up is simple via PowerSchool. Please view this short video for a tutorial.

We are looking for EU and Polish Citizens to substitute in the elementary school. Fluent English and a general interest in children and child-development is a must. If you are interested in working at school as a substitute teaching assistant, please review the requirements and submit an online application today! (Questions? Please email Dorota Buksowicz: [email protected]) Photo Retakes and Frames! We are pleased to announce that the frames for this school year photos have arrived. Please double-check your photo package to see what size/quantity you ordered. The frames are available to collect at the Communications Office between 8.30-16.30. We would also like to ask everyone, who has not yet done so, to complete the survey and voice your opinion on the quality of this year school photos as well as the process in general. Finally, please be informed that an additional photo session for all new students or those who were absent during the September session is scheduled for Mon-Wed, March 26th-28th. (Questions? Please contact Agnieszka Swietliczko- Director of Communication: [email protected])
