6-12 Parent/Teacher Conferences
This September, we will continue to hold parent-teacher conferences for grades 6-12 via Zoom. These will be held Wed 9/18 and Thurs 9/19 4:30-7:30 pm. We have received consistent positive feedback from parents regarding Zoom conferences. In particular, parents appreciate that there are no lines to wait in and they know when each teacher is available. In addition, teachers can see more parents than before.
We will provide a form to sign up in advance via Sign Up Genius, so if you would like to conference with a particular teacher, watch for more information and signup links in the next few weeks. It is important that parents sign up well in advance of the conference date. Check your Spam folder for the emailed Zoom links as the date gets closer. These Zoom link emails usually come via Sign Up Genius and not from the teacher email accounts.
If it is more helpful to meet in person, teachers are available to meet after school throughout the year, by appointment only. Please work with individual teachers to arrange a meeting time.
Thank you for supporting our students and teachers!
