PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
Dear Bennett Parents/Guardians,
Our Winter Conferences are right around the corner! Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, March 3, and Monday, March 7. The link for sign up is listed below. (Please disregard the "Fall" behind some staff's name. This is the link for Winter.)
Please select a 15 minute conference time for your child. Unfortunately, we are able to have only 1 conference time per student per family.
If you would like to do a Zoom conference rather than an in-person conference, please sign up for a time on the schedule via the link below and let your child's teacher know you prefer a Zoom conference.
If you need assistance, please call the Bennett Office at 701.446.4000 or reach out to your child's teacher.
Sincerely,
Ms. Schafer
