Dear Lower and Middle School families,


The previous conference email sent on Sunday, January 19, listed an incorrect date. Families with two or more students at MPA may sign up a day earlier, starting at noon on Wednesday, January 22, not January 27, as previously listed. Below is the corrected information from that original email. We apologize for the misinformation.


Your winter conferences will take place on campus on Thursday, February 6, from 3:30-8 PM and Friday, February 7, from 8 AM-5 PM. Lower and Middle School students do not have classes on February 7. All Lower and Middle School families may schedule to meet with up to four of their students' teachers.


Lower School Families

Lower School homeroom teachers will offer 25-minute conferences. Specialist conferences may be scheduled for 10 minutes per student. Families who would like to discuss more than one child with their specialist teacher(s) should set up separate conference times for each child. Families will have a chance to meet all specialists over the course of the fall and winter conferences. For these conferences, the following grades will meet with the following specialists:


  • PreK: Music and P.E.
  • K-1: World Languages, Drama, Technology
  • Grades 2-4: Music, P.E., and Art


Middle School Families

Middle School students participate in their conferences and are required to attend. Please check athletic and event schedules before signing up. If you need private time without the student in attendance, please indicate this at the beginning of the conference. All conferences should be scheduled during conference times slotted.
