Student Handbook Snippets - Parent Teacher Conferences

PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES 

Regular conferences between parents and teachers provide an opportunity to discuss details about your child's school experience, which cannot always be conveyed through report card grades. Regular contact between the home and school will help each child see that parents and teachers care about their progress and success. Conferences may be requested by either the teacher or the parent, in order to share knowledge about the child and gain a better understanding of his/her needs and interests. Conferences provide a perfect opportunity for adults to use Habit 5 – Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood (listen before you talk).  

Please note:

  • All parent-teacher conferences must be scheduled in order to avoid conflicting with instructional time.
  • Drop-in conferences or visits are not permitted, either before, during, or after school hours. 
  • Parents wishing to request a conference should contact their child’s teacher via email or telephone. 
  • Always allow up to 48 hours (or two school days) for a response from any correspondence. If you need further assistance, you may also call the school at 691-8676. 
  • Due to District and social distancing protocols, conferences may be held virtually as needed.
