Term 1 Parent-Teacher Conferences
It is that time of the year again and we are excited to share our first term conference schedule with you. On October 7th, from 12:00 - 7:00 p.m., you will have the opportunity to connect with your teen’s teacher for a virtual meeting to discuss how the first term of the school year is progressing. Conferences will be conducted via Google Meets. Each teacher has designated time slots through a program called Calendly for you to sign up for. Conference slots are 10 min. each, so we ask that you make sure you have Internet access ready for the scheduled virtual session. Please be watching for an email from you teen’s teachers with direct access to the Calendly link for available time slots to sign up for. You can also access each teacher’s Calendly link here.
To sign up for a conference slot, all you need to do is click the link next to each teacher’s name that you would like to conference with, and choose an appointment to sign up for. After you complete the steps for signing up, you will receive a confirmation email. Interpretation Services will be available. If you need Spanish interpretation during conferences, please email me with the message “Yo necesito interprete en español para las conferencias de maestro.”
If you have any questions regarding the sign up process please do not hesitate to contact your teen’s teacher(s) directly or call 361-3000. We thank you once again for your commitment to your child's education and look forward to meeting with you on October 7th.
Grading and Assignments
A Healthy You
The goal of our school nursing services is to maintain the physical, environmental, and emotional wellness of students so that they are prepared to learn and achieve academic success. The health services team wants to ensure that they continue to support our students and families during Distance Learning.
Getting the right health information is vital, and the skills and resources of a trained healthcare professional such as a nurse can be one of the most effective ways to get the information you need. Sometimes you may need a quick answer to a health issue that doesn’t require immediate medical treatment or a physician visit. That’s why the School District of Beloit is offering virtual school health appointments.
By connecting with your school health professional, you can have a person to person contact with someone who can respond to your basic health questions. Our school health professions can address concerns such as your child’s symptoms; medications and side effects; how to connect with self-help and support groups; how to connect with a local physician; how to access hospital resources; when to go to the doctor; when to go to the emergency room; wellness information; and COVID-19 resources.
Please contact the Beloit Memorial School Health Office for more information.
