Parent -Teacher Conferences MARCH 20-21 (ONLINE ONLY)
Parent-teacher conferences are an opportunity to engage in conversation about your child’s learning. Parents/guardians and teachers are able to connect face-to-face and communicate openly about student learning, especially with respect to areas of strength and areas of growth. They help build and sustain respectful relationships that allow both parties to share information and develop strategies to support student success. Appointments are 10 minutes each. If parents require more time, we ask that you contact your child’s teacher directly through email. Our teacher emails can be found on our website.
Thursday, Mar 20 - 4:00PM to 8:00PM (10 Minute appointments)
Friday, Mar. 21 - 9:00AM to 12:00PM (10 Minute appointments)
