Parent Teacher Conferences are an important part of the educational process. Meeting with your child’s teachers can highlight academic growth and determine areas for improvement. Teachers welcome communication at any time during the school year, and conferences offer specific opportunities to discuss your child’s progress.

Scheduling on pickAtime opens Thursday, February 10, at 7:00 p.m.
Parents will have the option to schedule their conferences in person or virtually with a drop down arrow when scheduling each appointment. If choosing vitural meetings, the Google Meet links will be provided soon after the time of scheduling. Teachers will be provided the same link.
