PYP & MYP PORTFOLIO CONFERENCES 🗓
Thursday, 18 January 2024 in homeroom classrooms
16:00 – 17:30
Dear parents,
You are warmly invited to our first portfolio conference of the year, for which the students have selected pieces of work to share with you. You can expect your children to share their strengths, best work, the work they are most proud of, and their plans for the future.
We ask you to provide encouragement and positive feedback as your child presents their work. As other students will be conducting conferences in the classroom at the same time, we are kindly asking you to refrain from bringing other children along and to switch mobile phones off during the conferences.
As the Portfolio Conferences replace the parent-teacher conferences this month, we strongly suggest you take the opportunity and contact the teachers during their weekly individual interviews or send them an email if you have any specific questions regarding the work in their portfolios.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the event!
