Dear Middle School Families,

Our fall MS Parent/Guardian/Family-Teacher Conferences kick-off this Friday, November 6 and continue on Friday, November 13 and Friday, November 20. There are no MS classes on those days.

These conferences are an opportunity to connect, ask questions, and share what you’re noticing at home—and for teachers to share what they’re noticing in class. In other words, it’s a time for teachers and families to both share information and learn information—and to reflect on each student in each class. Some important conference reminders:

There will be no classes for students on these days—all Fridays.
If you have any questions about scheduling, please contact the Registrar's Office.
  • Middle School students are encouraged to attend conferences with their parents/guardians. Please fill out this form to let us know who is attending the conference.

  • All teachers will keep track of time during conferences. Conferences last 10-12 minutes.

  • The conferences are virtual and will take place on Google Meet. When you signed up for conferences, you received an email with your schedule and the Meet links to each conference. You will also receive an email the day before your conferences with your schedule and the Meet links to each conference. Only the adult who scheduled the conferences receives the email with the links, so please share those links with anyone else who is attending the conference.

  • All conference times are booked through our online system. To keep things running on time, we ask that you please stick to the time you have scheduled. If something comes up, please let me or Ann Bevan know as soon as you can and we will work with you to help reschedule.
Preparing for Conference
To get you ready for this year's conferences and help you get a deeper understanding of the work that happens every day, we have put together an Insider’s Guide to Middle School Courses. In this guide, you'll hear directly from your students' teachers about overall goals and objectives for each course, the work that happens throughout the year, and how to best support—and engage in—your student's learning.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and flexibility during conferences. We know it is a very busy time for our community. We hope the experience is a good one for all.

We look forward to seeing you online!

Director of Middle School
