Important Information for Parent-Teacher Conferences


While most teachers conference times are passing, there are still a few with remaining spots. We welcome the opportunity to connect with you about your child's progress in their classes through parent-teacher conferences. Here are a few things to keep in mind about conferences:


  • All Conferences are virtual for grades 6-12.
  • Each teacher has set an appointment calendar for fall conferences based on their availability this fall. 
  • For middle and high school teachers, there are not enough appointments for every family on a teacher's roster. If you do not have items to discuss with a teacher, we ask that you consider connecting with the teacher via email for a progress check, rather than taking a conference slot. 
  • Please do not schedule conferences with "Study Hall" teachers. This will allow them to stay more available for students enrolled in academic courses.
  • If you need to meet with a teacher and they are fully booked, you cannot align calendars, or you experience difficulty making an appointment: please reach out directly to that teacher. Even though conference slots often get booked, our teachers will work hard to accommodate schedules to ensure that any family with concerns has an opportunity to connect.
  • Use this live spreadsheet to find links to the teachers' conference schedulers. The first tab sorts all teachers by last name. The second tab sorts teachers by department area. You will need to have your child's schedule in front of you to determine which teachers with whom you should make an appointment.

Lost and Found- October 24, 2026

We have moved lost and found from the first quarter to the front office and will keep it here until October 24 (date change). You are welcome to stop in the office between 7:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. any school day and check for items or have your student look.

Career Connections

Career Connections are brought to the Middle School by the IH Experienceships team! They occur during lunch and are open to our current 8th grade students.

Braves Future- Class of 2031 Part Two


IHHS is excited to once again offer Braves Future, an experience designed especially for our eighth-grade students as they begin looking ahead to their transition to Indian Hill High School. Part Two will take place on November 20, this is for current 8th graders only, please see the details below, thanks!


Part Two: Experience IHHS — Campus, Faculty & Academics

Friday, November 20 – Afternoon

Indian Hill High School


Students will get a chance to tour the IHHS campus and connect with our faculty and staff. This will be a great opportunity for our eighth graders to experience the high school firsthand while learning about the academic offerings and opportunities they will be able to take advantage of throughout their next four years.

As an added part of the experience, our eighth graders will enjoy their first high school lunch in the IHHS cafeteria! If your student is interested in purchasing lunch that day, please make sure their MySchoolBucks account is up to date prior to the visit.
