21st Century Learning for Pre-K-8 in Shelburne, VT
All parents of students in grades 2nd-6th are invited to attend a meeting after school (3:30-4:30 pm in the Community Room) to discuss our upcoming outdoor education trip to Hosmer Point. This is an opportunity to learn more about the trip and ask questions that you might have. Jon Hammond, HP Camp Director, will be joining us. Looking forward to seeing you then!
March 22nd is a Professional Development Day for faculty and staff. There is no school for students.
Student Led Conferences provide an opportunity for parents, students, and teachers to engage in conversation about the student’s progress over the course of the year. Students are invited to lead the conference using their digital portfolio as a tool to discuss their learning, strengths, interests, and areas for growth. Additionally, families will have the opportunity to tour the school and view work displayed in specialist classes such as STEM, Art, Music and Spanish.
We hope you will join us for this open-house style PBL share, during which projects in Global Studies and STEM will be displayed throughout the school. Sharing our learning journeys with an audience fosters motivations, encourages high-quality work and is an integral component of PBL. We look forward to sharing our work with you!
