Academic conferences will begin the week of January 27th. Your child should have brought home a letter letting you know when their Academic Conference will be held. We advise that at least one parent be present at this time. If you are unable to attend, your child will still take part in the conference.
There are two videos that are included on our school website that we ask you to view BEFORE the 8th grade Academic Conference. You can reach the videos by going to our school website and clicking on the Counseling link. You will find the videos to the right under “help links”. These videos will help you prepare for your child’s Academic Conference. I encourage you to write down the following questions and answer them as the video plays. This is great information to have.
