From the Principal
Dear Parents:
To support our students academically in and out of school, administrators, teachers, and families need to have a shared understanding of their children’s learning and work as partners to meet their academic and social-emotional needs.
The staff at Isaac Monfort Elementary remains committed to communicating regularly and constructively with parents. Report cards will be sent home electronically every quarter and parents are expected to participate in a fall conference with their child’s homeroom teacher. The conference will help build a strong parent‐teacher relationship. It is the expectation that all families attend conferences.
This quarters report cards will be sent out at the end of the day on Friday , November 16th. The report card will summarize the progress that your child is making toward the State Standards and it formalizes the commitment that the child, family, and school make to improve progress over the coming quarter. At the conference, the homeroom teacher and the family discuss the report card. The report card will show the level of student work and the overall quality of performance. Additionally, you will receive a copy of your child’s NWEA Student Progress Report. This report measures your child’s progress or growth in school in the areas of mathematics, reading, language and science.
This month, your child’s teacher will also share the goals and plan from your child’s Leadership Notebook. Leadership notebooks are an important part of our students' learning. Every child, kindergarten through sixth grade, has a leadership notebook. These are tools and data used by students to set and help to achieve academic and personal goals. The notebooks will be sent home on a regular basis for parents to preview their child's progress. They include things such as data, goals, leadership and victories. Each grade level's leadership notebooks are different according to their students' needs.
Lastly, I hope that as the holidays draw near, all of you have an opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Mr. LaPorte
