For the first year, I was unable to attend Alexandra's Parent/Teacher conference because our school was also doing conferences on the same day. I could have rescheduled, but Derek really wanted to go in my stead. Although Derek and I dated for a couple of years, he is now Alexandra's official Stepdad. As her Stepdad, Derek can go to conferences. My mom went along for fun and my merry, blended family walked into Alexandra's Spring Conference.
The first news I hear back from conferences is that my mom cried. Uh-oh, was something amiss? No, it was good news. Alexandra's teachers had AMAZING things to say about her, including the fact that she resists peer pressure and she has high moral fortitude. (Hey Mom and Derek, Comment below for direct quotes please.) As her parent, I beamed with pride.
Then I quickly realized, I need to tell her more often I'm proud of her. She works hard to make good choices. :) I must say this has been the best school conferences ever! I wish I had been there to hear it face-to-face. However, I'm so ecstatic that Derek's first accompanied conference visit with his new title was such a smashing success!
Way to go, Alexandra!
Even cooler news? Alexandra was able to take her Geography OCCT on the computer so she found out her results at the conclusion of the test. She scored 85%! I can't wait to see her Reading, Writing, Science, and Math OCCT scores. I KNOW she ROCKED them out!
Another way to go, Alexandra!
And a big thank you to Derek and Mom for going to Alexandra's conferences. It's nice to know she's supported by so many people!
