Happy Friday Gibson Families!
I’m excited to introduce myself as I join the Gibson community. I’ve worked in Delta for over 20 years, most recently as the Principal at Annieville Elementary. I’m also a parent of young children, so I understand how important it is to feel connected and confident in your child’s school. I’m grateful for the opportunity to step into this role and look forward to getting to know your children, families, and staff.
I care deeply about building a strong, connected school community, and I believe that when families and schools work together, great things happen for students. Over the coming weeks, I look forward to learning more about what makes Gibson such a special place.
I value strong relationships and open dialogue, so please don’t hesitate to say hello or reach out. I’m truly looking forward to meeting everyone and working together for a fantastic end to our year at Gibson!
Warm regards,
Ms. Parmar
Student Led Conferences
Student Led Conferences are happening this week on February 26. Please make sure you sign up on Parent Connect for a time and please contact the office should you need any support. Please note: we have early dismissal at 2pm this Thursday to accommodate our conferences.
*** To accommodate as many families as possible, we kindly ask parents book one appointment per child.
Roles and Responsibilities of Student-Led Conferences
The Role of the Student – Prior to the conference, students collect evidence of their learning to share with their parents and collaborate with their teachers to review their progress and set learning goals. During the conference, students share and discuss learning with their parents and determine next steps to improve learning.
The Role of the Parent(s) –Prior to the conference, parents should familiarize themselves with the conference process, prepare some questions for discussion during the conference and sign up for appointment time (Via Parent Connect). During the conference, parents should participate actively (listen, ask questions) and provide feedback to assist their child in identifying strengths and learning goals.
The Role of the Teacher –Prior to the conference, teachers help students prepare for the conference by guiding the student to collect evidence of their learning and review learning goals. During the conference, the teacher is there as a facilitator and guide. Questions should for the most part be directed towards your child. If you have further questions for your child’s teacher, please make an appointment for a later time.
We look forward to welcoming you to the school as our conferences are a great opportunity for your child to show you their learning this year.
