Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent-teacher conferences continue to be a valuable experience to support students in their education. As a result, we will continue to offer this experience and it will look very similar to last year. Parents/guardians will sign up for conferences using your Parent PowerSchool portal. While we expect that most will take advantage of the convenience and efficiency that online conferencing provides through Google Meet, we will also allow parents/guardians to attend in-person, if desired. If you prefer to attend conferences in person, you will need to reach out via email to your students' teachers (Staff Emails). Teachers will be located in a classroom or office area to conduct all conferences. Each appointment will be ten minutes in length. The conference scheduler will be open from Sunday, October 15 - Sunday, October 22 (by midnight).
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on the following dates/times:
- High School: Monday, October 23, 4:00 pm to 7:30pm
- Junior Highs: Tuesday, October 24, 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm
- HS and Jr Highs: Thursday, October 26, 12:30 pm to 7:30 pm
