At Amesbury School we report on student learning and progress every term. In Terms 1 and 3 each year we hold student conferences, where students discuss their learning with their parents and one of their teachers, and talk through their learning goals. For children in Years 4-6, we send home a learning report through our ALF software in Term 2 & 4 , reporting on recent assessments, national standards and learning behaviours. Children in their first, second and third year at school have this report created near their school anniversary.
Our Term 3 student conferences will be running in the last week of Term 3 (19th - 23rd September). Conferences for all Te Rito students and those booking with Anna and Urs will be in the evenings only (3:30 - 7:50pm). For conferences with Derek, Mike, Dan, Demelza and Marianne there will also be some day options for conferences within this week.
Where at all possible, we ask that people stay within these particular days to book conferences. Teachers will be staying particularly late on these two days to hold the conferences, so we prefer that teachers do not stay late on other days to hold additional conferences. Thank you for your support with this.
Please find booking information below, including the teacher each student needs to book a conference time with.

Who to book with - we are asking parents in all hubs to book a conference time with their child's literacy teacher. The teacher you received this email from is the teacher you book a conference with. All teachers will be able to discuss your child's learning in all areas of the curriculum, even if they don't necessarily teach them for all learning areas. In the case of Year 3-6 students your child will be doing quite a lot of the talking about their own learning, and the teacher will be there to guide where necessary and answer any questions the parents or student may have.
If you have any further questions regarding student conferences please don't hesitate to contact your child's literacy teacher.
Warm regards,
The Amesbury team
