Bonjour BP families. 

This will replace next week's message so you have Interview sign up information beforehand.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

School conferences will continue as scheduled on the evening of Thursday, November 27 (online via MS Teams, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.) and on Friday, November 28 (online via MS Teams, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.). Each session will be 10 minutes in length. When booking conferences, please allow adequate time to move from one meeting to the next. The Conference Manager will open at 8:00 a.m. on November 18, and will close at 8:00 p.m. on November 25 

To book conferences, please log into your MyCBE account and follow these steps: 

  • Click on “Book and Manage Meeting Times” 
  • Select “Book a Conference” 

School conferences provide an important opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about your child’s learning. Parents/guardians, students, and teachers are able to connect and communicate openly about areas of strength and growth. These discussions help build and sustain respectful relationships that support student success. Prior to your conference, please take time with your child to review PowerSchool for updated grades and D2L for course content and topics, ensuring a focused and informed discussion. If possible, please include your child in the conference as their voice is vital to understanding the next steps in their learning. 

After booking, your conference details will appear in your MyCBE account. We recommend adding these to your email calendar to keep track of meeting times and links. 

Given the recent teacher strike and its impact on assessment timelines, teachers are continuing to update and analyze student data. While they will share available evidence of learning, we ask that families keep in mind that assessment information may still be in progress at this time. The focus of conferences will be on reconnecting, understanding current progress, and planning meaningful next steps to support each student’s continued growth. 

We look forward to seeing you and your child at conferences and continuing our shared work in supporting their success.
