We would like to invite the Horton community to our in-person parent orientation scheduled for Wednesday September 21st. This is an opportunity to put a face with a name. This is not a one-on-one Parent-Teacher opportunity, but a general review of the class and assessment plans. Join Horton Administration for coffee and snacks at 6:00 PM before we begin at 6:15 PM in the performance center.
Targets for Horton Teacher Orientation:
- To put a face to a name is the main goal and the meetings are just 10 minutes.
- Discuss communication and assessment plans (how to reach out)
- A typical day in class
- Review how the parent can support the student
- Review how a student can support themselves
- How the teacher can support a struggling student
- Review the importance of C-O-P and professional judgments (more details at the meeting!)
Meet the teacher is not intended as:
- The time to review curriculum or topics
- Individual discussions with parents
Please bring a picture or a copy of your students timetable so that you are able to follow their schedule. Horton will provide a quick reference room list, maps and many Student Council volunteers will be present that evening to help navigate the building.
This is our planned schedule for the evening
