Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences

Twice a year we offer Parent-Teacher-Student conferences. These conferences are intended for students who may be struggling in a class. If your child is doing well but you still wish to check-in, we encourage you to consider emailing the teacher to learn more or to set up a phone call. You can keep tabs on your child’s academic progress by logging into PowerSchool.



While conferences are returning in person, all sign-ups for conference night need to be scheduled online at the button below. Teachers are listed under their departments. If a teacher's available slots are full, or if you have a conflict on conference night, please don't hesitate to email the teacher. 

No walk-in appointments will be available.

Students are expected to participate in the conference.

Eucharistic Adoration



Parents Are Invited to Join Us

One of the efforts to nurture and encourage the spiritual life of our students here at Bishop Watterson is weekly exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Each week, a grade is assigned to spend some time in silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament during Theology class. On Wednesdays, we expose the Blessed Sacrament at 7:30 a.m. and remain in prayer until Benediction at 1:30 p.m. We would like to invite parents to join us. Eucharistic Adoration will be held in Dominican Hall until the chapel expansion and renovation is completed this fall.

If you have completed the “Protecting God’s Children” requirements of the Diocese and are interested in joining us for prayer, please click on the button below to sign-up for a particular Holy Hour.

We would like to thank you for your cooperation with this effort and we look forward to your joining us.
