SAVE THE DATE & ORDER YOUR DINNERS!

Please read through the ILP CONFERENCE FAQs before scheduling.

Your child’s Individual Learning Plan (ILP) is developed each quarter and includes individual learning outcomes your student is expected to achieve by the end of that quarter. This serves as both a visual indicator of progress and an agenda for personal conferences with the student’s teachers and parents. ILP goals are developed each quarter during a student/parent/teacher ILP conference. The conference includes a review of the student’s progress and goals for the upcoming quarter. Progress on the learning outcomes is noted in the PowerSchool program. Participation in the ILP Conference is required. Students might not be promoted to the next grade level and/or graduate without this involvement.  

First quarter ILP Conferences are scheduled for

Friday, August 18th from 1:30 to 6:00pm.   

Please remember, ILP days are early release days for students. Students are expected to come with their parents to their scheduled ILP conference. If your family has multiple student siblings, please plan accordingly.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please call the Elementary Office 480-659-3100. We look forward to seeing you and your child at your ILP conference.
