Student-led conferences

Meet your students in the gym on Wednesday, February 26 for student-led conferences.

Choose from 3 sessions:

7-7:30 a.m.

Noon- 1 p.m.

4-5 p.m.

Your child will lead you through a discussion about their academic progress, strengths, interests and which areas have room for improvement. In the packets, you will find report cards and written insights from teachers. These conferences are student-led, therefore, your child must attend the conference with you. Teachers will be available for questions and consultation if needed. An appointment is not necessary. Just show up during one of the times listed above with your child.

We will have an adult at the back gate (North side) and gym gate (East side) for easier access to the gym.
