Alan St. Jean, author of the Aidan of Oren trilogy will be speaking to all fifth and sixth grade students during multi-media morning assemblies on November 9th and 10th. Mr. St. Jean, a Michigan author, will talk about the writing process in a captivating, exciting presentation applicable to all ages and stages of writers. After the all-grade assemblies, Mr. St. Jean will lead writing workshops drawing from lessons learned during the assemblies. Students will be placed into small groups and treated to a progressive writing exercise that emphasizes teamwork and story structure while at the same time introduces the concept of genre.

Mr. St. Jean spends much of his time visiting schools and teaching children about the writing process. In his spare time, he can be found at his piano, where he is also an accomplished musician and songwriter.

Mr. St. Jean's Aidan of Oren medieval trilogy is a heartwarming and epic tale of friendship and courage which was written for children of all ages. His latest project, a picture book series called The Daydreams Collection, debuted in early 2008 with Big Fella and Spooky Mooky. All five of his books will be available for order before and after Mr. St. Jean's visit. Mr. St. Jean will also be available to personally sign books purchased during the event.

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for the week of October 5th. Students will be dismissed at 11:45 on Thursday, October 8th and there will be no school on Friday, October 9th.

We would like to thank you for taking the time to complete and return the parent information exchange forms that were sent home in September. Communication between parent and teacher is a high priority. The parent exchange form is one way to facilitate two-way communication between home and school. The information you provided will be used by your child's teacher on September 25 to help her/him prepare for your child's year of learning and your parent teacher conference.

Our hope for fall conferences is to begin the year by setting attainable goals for your child's learning. The purpose of the first conference is to give parents and teachers time to set goals and develop strategies and approaches that meet the needs of each child's unique learning style.

Goal setting is important. When kids are successful at setting and reaching goals, they feel good about themselves. Parents and teachers can work together to help the child set specific attainable goals. For instance, "be smart" is too broad. "Learn my addition facts," however can be observed and measured.

• Plan ahead for the conference. Ask your child if there is anything he/she would like you to bring up during the meeting. If you have a lot of questions you might want to jot them down on a piece of paper. You could also send questions to the teacher ahead of time, so that the teacher is prepared and your conference time is used efficiently.
  
  
• Please come at your scheduled time. If the teacher is engaged in a conference at your scheduled time, please knock on the door to let the teacher know you are there. This will allow all of the conferences to stay on schedule.
  
  
• Think of yourself as a partner with the teacher. You can work with the teacher in coming up with ideas and goals to help your child achieve success in school. Help your child to establish their own goals, and ask them how you can support those goals at home.
  
  
• Finally, share the details of the conference with your child. Let them know that everyone has strengths and areas in which to grow.

If you have not signed up for a conference or if you need to change your time, please call the Frederick School office at 543-5300 to schedule or reschedule a conference time.
