Parent Teacher Conferences

Every spring, in cooperation with the administration, the School Board adopts a new calendar for the coming school year. Built into this calendar – in addition to holidays and teacher inservice days – are the dates for the end of each marking period and the dates for parent conferences. The conferences are scheduled for both daytimes and evenings to accommodate all parents. They provide the opportunity for parents to share concerns with their children’s teachers and to receive information on their children’s progress.

Conferences are held in the late fall and early spring for elementary and middle school students. They are held only in the late fall for high school students.

Report cards are distributed four times a year. Since it may take the first grade student a bit longer to adjust to the demands of a full school day, grades are given beginning with the second marking period. The fall conferences for first graders help teachers develop a comprehensive profile for each student in cooperation with the parents/guardians. Middle schools encourage parents to include their child during parent/teacher conferences as part of a child centered environment.

The conference schedule for the 2006-07 school year is given below. Conferences at any other time of the year may be arranged directly by contacting the student’s teacher in the elementary schools or the guidance office in the secondary schools.
