The first quarter will wrap up tomorrow - Thursday, Oct. 19 - signaling that it is soon time for
Parent-Teacher Conferences. On Thursday, Nov. 2, H-F faculty will be available during an afternoon session from
1:30-3:30 p.m. and from
6:30-8:30 p.m. in the evening session to meet one-on-one with parents and guardians.
In order to allow teachers time to prepare for the meetings, students will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m. that day.
The complete academic schedule for the week of conferences is:
- Monday, Oct. 30 - 7-period day; regular 50-min. classes (Periods 1-2-3-4-5-6-7)

If you have questions about conferences, please contact
Principal Dr. Jerry Lee Anderson
