Principal's Message
The partnership between parents/families and school is essential. Regular communication and consultation is vital to this partnership. Teachers communicate regularly with parents through class newsletters, email, calls, or occasional meetings (as needed). Three times during the year we hold Parent Teacher Conferences. Each set of conferences has a purpose.
Fall conferences (October 24/25)
- These offer a chance for parents and teachers to discuss the student’s progress. Parents can also hear ways they can support students at home.
- Families schedule an appointment or come for arena style conferences in the cafeteria.
Winter conferences (February 6/7)
- Conferences are based on teacher requests to families of students who need additional support.
- Students who are in need of additional support or who are experiencing academic difficulties are the priority for these conferences.
Spring conferences (May 2)
- Teachers request conferences for students in need of significant support.
Fall Conference Schedule
The purposes of conferences are to meet with families; gain insight into our students; and talk with parents about how classes are going. The conference times are Thursday, October 24 in the afternoon and evening (see below) and Friday, October 25 all day.
Families schedule through Sign Up genius - The links for signups will go live tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5:15 pm.
This year, the time for the schedule link to open is set for an evening to make the appointment selection a bit fairer for families who work during the day.
Elementary
- The schedule is for 20-minute appointments with five minutes in between.
- This year we will welcome families in the lobby and invite them to go to their child’s classroom at their scheduled time.
- October 24 1:00-7:00pm scheduled conferences
- October 25 8:00-2:30pm
Middle School
- The middle school is working on a hybrid conference plan that is made possible by flexing their time. There will be time for scheduled conferences and for arena conferences (teachers all in one room and families meet with teachers individually).
- October 24 4:00-8:00pm arena conferences in cafeteria
- October 25 8:00-1:00pm scheduled conferences
