Student-led Conferences Oct. 27th

Students are preparing to give their first Student-led Conferences at Taos Middle School and the HANDS Program is getting ready.  Students have reviewed their test scores, grades, goals, hopes and desires with me, now its your turn.  Family is invited, with your child of course, to come to hear all about their academic and social progress as they make their way through middle school and their academic careers.  If you have still not had the chance to sign-up for a conference please email or call me asap.  Thanks, Mrs. McP

About Me

Taos, New Mexico, United States
My name is Hillary McPartlon. I am the teacher of the HANDS Program. H.A.N.D.S (Helping Academic Needs of Diverse Students) is a pilot program at Taos Middle School for 6th graders. It is designed for students who seek a challenging environment with a hands-on approach. Through multi-disciplinary learning, students will learn core academics, real-world challenges, and leadership skills. The HANDS Lab is for learners of all levels and backgrounds. The ultimate goal is to treat each student as an individual learner as part of a cooperative team.
