Building Lifelong Learners

Student Learning Contract Conferences (SLC Conferences) hold an essential role in the collaborative educational process here at The Renaissance Academy. For our returning families the SLC Conference is a familiar experience, and for our new families, it is a crucial step toward solidifying the success of your child’s academic year.

Please review the following details to ensure that you are informed, prepared and excited about this key event in your student’s school year. I encourage you to contact your child’s home base teacher with any additional questions about the SLC process and the expectations during the conference.

What is expected of EVERYONE during the SLC Conference:

Be prepared to discuss progress and their personal goals for the current and upcoming trimester. Students will come with specific goals in mind and will be expected to formalize those goals during the conference.

Have reviewed the student grades/grade report prior to the conference. The primary focus is assisting with student goals and looking ahead to make improvements during the remainder of the trimester.

Assist students in composing reasonable, appropriate and measurable goals. Teachers will guide students and take active roles in working on student goals, assessing progress and communicating that progress to the parent/guardians.

Sincerely,
Gina Guarino Buli
CEO,  Renaissance Academy Charter School
