March School Conferences
This conference is an opportunity for parents/guardians, students and teachers to celebrate learning and plan next steps. Our March conferences will be student led and will allow parents/guardians to see the progression of their child’s work in core curriculum areas.
Parents can book appointments with teachers via their MyCBE account. At least one parent/legal guardian in every family must have an active account. Please visit MyCBE to create your account if you have not already done so.
Access to book appointments with Teachers will be available from March 11 until March 23.
Conferences will be held in the classrooms, please arrive on time for your 30-minute student-led conference. If you need to make an alternate arrangement with your child's teacher, please email them directly. We look forward to celebrating Midnapore student's success.
Please note that our Students in Grade 5 and Grade 6 will not need to book. We will do an open house format for these families as you will likely want to visit the 3 of your child’s teachers. The only time our teachers in Grades 5 and 6 won’t be available is between 5:00pm-5:30pm, Thursday evening. Please enjoy our book fair at this time.

Literacy Fact of the Week
Children who are read to at least three times a week by a family member are almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in reading compared to children who are read to less than 3 times a week.
