Principal's Message
Dear Murwood Families,

Conferences begin Wednesday, November 18,  and hopefully, you have an appointment to meet with your child's teacher, learn about their progress, and plan next steps for the coming trimester.  If you do not have a conference scheduled, please call the Murwood office immediately (943-2462) and Lynnette, our Office Manager, will make arrangements for you.  Translators are available if needed.
 
A gentle reminder about conferences: Please be on time so that your child's teacher may keep to their schedule.  It is a parent teacher conversation only, so please make arrangements for childcare, if possible.  If you are going to be late or must reschedule, please call our office.
 
Here are some great questions for you to ask at conference:
  • May I Tell You About My Child?
  • May I Tell You About What's Going on at Home?
  • How Is My Child Doing Socially?
  • How Is My Child Doing Emotionally?
  • In What Areas Does My Child Need Improvement?
  • What Do You Think My Child Is Particularly Good At?
  • Is My Child Performing on Grade Level?
  • Is My Child Doing His Best?
  • Does My Child Need Extra Help in Any Areas?
  • What Can We Do to Provide That Extra Help?
We are a team with a common goal:  to support your child to be a successful, happy student who enjoys coming to school.  
 
Reminder:  Save the Date for Murwood Family Math Night, Thursday, December 3, 2015, 6-7 PM.
