Due to the nature that most teachers teach on average 150-180 students, there would not be time to meet with all parents during a two day window. Parents have the opportunity to request meetings with their students' teachers, but are not required to, and usually parents only request a meeting if the student is struggling in a particular class.

Teachers use the majority of the two days to reach out to schedule conferences with the students in the bottom 25 percent and have structured meetings with the team of teachers of the student to put a plan in place to better support the student.

Over the upcoming days, all parents will receive an e-mail from each of their student's teachers, re-introducing themselves, and just opening up the opportunity to set up a time to schedule a conference. If you believe that you need to meet with a teacher, you would work out a time with that teacher individually, and you can pick and choose which teacher you would meet with.

For example, if your student is being successful in all of their classes, except for let's say math, you have the option to schedule a meeting with their math teacher, and no other teacher.

Keep in mind that if you have any questions about your student's progress, you can always reach out to your child's teacher via e-mail or book a time to connect with them over phone or in-person; our staff is very open and accommodating!

If your student is struggling, and the team of teachers requests a meeting, it is mandatory that you work with the team to ensure a meeting takes place.

More information to come in the coming days directly from your child's teachers, but don't hesitate to reach out to Mr. Da Costa in the meantime if you have any questions or concerns.

We want to make sure all of your questions and concerns are addressed. The Winston Campus Jr. High Office is open starting at 6:35AM - 3:05PM. Additionally, our Administrators are available via phone and e-mail. We are here to serve you, so please do not hesitate to reach out!
