Some students may be asked to come in to do another assessment, and Mr. Katona will call you to set-up an appointment.
Conversations about school
- Look at completed work to find out ways your youngster is learning and how well they are doing.
- It's your child's job to do their homework, but you play a role too. Make sure they know what they are expected to do by having them explain the assignment to you.
After-school questions
- "What's the coolest thing that happened today?"
- "Pretend you're the teacher. How would you describe the day?"
- "What made you laugh?"
