Strong Connections at Southwood School is an event deliberately set up so that half of our students attend on Sept. 13th and half attend on Sept. 16th. It is an opportunity for teachers to “get-to-know” their students as a learner in a small group setting. This “get to know” each other is important every fall as our relationships with students is the foundation of our work. Getting to know our students includes getting to know them as a unique human and as a learner.
Strong Connections learning activities are not tests, but rather tasks to help us get to know our students and how they learn in order to best plan for instruction that will effectively address unique learning needs early in the school year.
An email was sent out this week to confirm which date your child should attend. Parents are not asked to attend this date with their child. It will be similar to a regular school day, just with fewer students in the classroom. Please contact your child’s teacher should you have any further questions.
