Jay Talk parent and student educational and career conferences were a big success in Merrill this year. As middle school counselor it was an honor to meet individually with parents and their eighth grade son or daughter to hear about their mutual hopes and dreams as a foundation toward planning for successful transition to high school and beyond. During each thirty-minute conference we reflected together on the student's learning style, successes, and challenges while developing two goals: one personal, one academic. Both goals are incorporated in the student's ongoing Individual Learning Plan which will continue at Merrill High School. Anonymous parent and student feedback indicated parent and student appreciation. In my twenty years in public education in Merrill, Jay Talks are one of my biggest success stories.
