Portfolio Conferences

Dear Parents,

As you may or may not have noticed, TK has been blocked off for the Portfolio Conferences when you log on to your Sycamore account.  TK will not have Portfolio Conferences.  Portfolio Conferences are student led and are based on the School's SLEs.  TK has been introduced but will require more time to understand how to connect the SLEs to their own work.  At the end of the two years of Kindergarten (TK to K), students will have their first Portfolio Conference.

The following are the School-wide Learning Expectations (SLEs) for grades TK-2.
A Faith-filled Active Catholic Who
  • Prays.
  • Attends Mass respectfully.
  • Shows respect for others and the world God created.
  • Participates in service to those in need.
A Critical Thinker Who
  • Listens to the teacher.
  • Works to his/her potential.
  • Expresses oneself through music, art, and literature.
  • Completes work neatly.
  • Solves problems effectively.
An Effective Communicator Who
  • Listens attentively to others.
  • Shares ideas and information.
  • Writes and speaks using correct grammar/vocabulary.
  • Articulates and projects clearly.
  • Communicates using technology.
A Globally Aware Citizen Who
  • Learns about new and different cultures.
  • Shows respect for people of different cultures.
  • Shows awareness of current events.
  • Shares God-given talents.
A Life-long Learner Who
  • Makes good choices.
  • Uses self-control.
  • Works and plays well with others.


I will personally contact you if I feel a conference is needed to discuss your child's progress. However, if you would like to schedule a conference, please e-mail me so we can plan one.

Thank you,
Mrs. Paragas
