3.8 Notice of Student-Led Conferences
Hello Tucana Families!
The following letter was sent home on March 7, 2012. Please send the bottom portion of the original letter back with your top two preferences. You may also email us to request a time (abakr@mtsd-vt.org). Thank you!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Tucana Parents and Guardians,
We hope you can attend a Student-Led Conference on the evenings of Thursday, March 15th and Wednesday, March 21st in room 209 (Humanities room). Educational research tells us that children benefit greatly from having meaningful conversations about their learning with important adults in their lives. To that end, your child will present to you artifacts of their learning from the second and third quarters—work from each class that s/he has thoughtfully selected to demonstrate learning and growth.
Anyone is welcome—parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, etc. If no adult is able to attend on these dates, we will gladly make arrangements for you to conference with your child at another time as we do expect each student to conduct a Student-Led Conference with one or more adults who are invested in their learning.
We look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
The Teachers of Team Tucana:
Amira Bakr
Sharon Ehret
Rob DeCicco
Stacey Endres
Amy Macbeth

Pizza kits needs to be picked up at the school on Thursday March 22. More information will follow about the pick-up.
People can order online at www.pizzakit.com At checkout, they will be prompted to put in our fundraiser info:
Group ID: 87681
Fundraiser ID: 242788
Name of Organization: Milton Middle School
As incentives we are offering the following:
-3 top sellers in the school will receive two 2-for-1 passes to the Pump House at Jay Peak.
-Anyone who can sell $400 worth of product will have met the fundraising requirement.
-If everyone in an advisory participates in the fundraiser, that advisory will receive a pizza party.
Thanks,
Joe Smith
