Parent/Teacher Conference Sept 21

Thanks to the many parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, guardians that came to the first Westlake Parent/Teacher Conference of the 2011-12 calender year. It was wonderful to see the support and concern that you have for your children. 


I hope for those of us who were unable to come or did not get to see all the teachers, that we will take a moment to make an appointment with the teachers, or have them call us and talk with them over the phone, or email them so that we will know and understand where our children stand in each of their classes.

Volunteer News:


It was a very busy three and a half hours at the Volunteer tables inside the main entrance. Parent/Teacher conference found many of our wonderful parents coming to the school to meet and discuss the progress of their students.


We had three tables and four piles of Progress Reports to hand out. The counseling center printed some 2374 reports and we as volunteers cheerfully dug into our respective piles of close to 575 sheets to find the reports for our awesome parents. Believe me, this was a challenge! But it was also fun.


I was there for the whole time and was able to work with nine other wonderful volunteers who stayed for an hour or hour in a half to help. I had a great time with them- they were awesome!! I also enjoyed seeing so many people from our community that I haven't seen for a very long time. The only thing that would have made the afternoon better would have been having more help so that I could have broken away to visit with my own children's teachers. More hands would have made it easier for the other volunteers to see the teachers they needed to see as well. With even more hands, we could have dropped the volunteer times to 30 minutes each and that would have been awesome!!


**So if anyone out there feels that they could donate 30 minutes of their time for such an activity as this, please sign up on the VolunteerSpot master list (above right) and we will let you know when our next activities are. Then you can see if you have 30 minutes or an hour or whatever you could do to help us. Thanks!!


Thanks again to all the wonderful volunteers that helped hand out Student Progress Reports, greet the parents and direct them to the conference.

YOU ARE AWESOME!!
