Rockford Elementary ML Parent Night
What an incredible night! A huge thank you to Mrs. Day and Mrs. Gonzalez for hosting our ML Parent Night at Rockford Elementary.
We were so happy to welcome so many families! Parents received a wealth of information and resources. The evening's highlight was the station rotation. Parents had the opportunity to look closely at ML data and then partnered with their child for a special student-led conference. These conferences were all about celebrating strengths and discussing the goals set for this school year!
The smiles were absolutely priceless during the family photo shoot!
Thank you to all the parents who showed up to support and encourage! Your partnership is what makes a difference!
