SPRING PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
You will receive an email from Signup.com this month to schedule your child's conference with his/her homeroom teacher.
Due to time constraints on conference nights, you may sign up with your child's homeroom teacher only. If you would like to speak with your child's reading or math teacher, please email or call that teacher directly.
You may choose to schedule a conference with your child's Spanish, music, art, or physical education teacher on Signup.com as well.
Middle School Conferences: 7th & 8th Grade:
MS conferences will be by teacher or parent request only. If a teacher would like to request a conference with you, you will receive a link to the Signup website from the teacher. You may also request a conference with a particular teacher. The Signup link for parent requests will go out around January **.
If you do not have a concern, please do not feel obligated to request a conference for your child.
If you have a question regarding conferences, please email teachers directly.
