ILP CONFERENCESAt Horizon Honors, we value the student-parent-teacher triangle. This partnership helps our students reach their potential. Parent involvement is key and can be established during the ILP (Individual Learning Plan) conferences as you review your child’s progress and set goals for the quarter. The plan will cover topics, tasks, and learning outcomes your child will be expected to achieve by the end of the quarter. The written list of goals will serve as both a visual indicator of progress and an agenda for the conference. Students do not attend school on ILP Conference days, but rather are expected to attend the conference. First Quarter ILP Conferences are October 19th and 20th. Appointments can be made by calling 480-659-3000 or stopping by the Secondary School Office. FIRST QUARTER ILP CONFERENCES Thursday, October 19th 10:15 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. & 4:30 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. Friday, October 20th 7:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. ILP CONFERENCE DATES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR Thursday, January 11th 10:15 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. & 4:30 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. Friday, January 12th 7:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Thursday, March 29th 10:15 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. & 4:30 – 7:15 p.m. Friday, March 30th 7:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Friday, June 8th 7:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. DON'T FORGET TO DOWNLOAD OUR APP!Have you downloaded the Horizon Honors app yet?
