MEET THE TEACHER NIGHT

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Meet the Teacher Night will be held on Thursday, September 2, 2021 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We invite you to take advantage of this great opportunity to meet with our teachers to learn about the classes your student(s) is taking this year. Making connections with your student's teachers is an important part of building relationships to support your student throughout high school.

Your student’s schedule will be important for you to successfully navigate the evening. The following are options on how to access your student’s schedule:

Students will be filling out their schedules during advisory on September 1st. They will either hand you a paper copy or text a photo of their schedule to you.
You may use the Infinite Campus app for parents (https://bit.ly/icpgapp).
You may access your student’s schedule on the Parent Portal. (link for help with login )

Please email mehsinfo@maine207.org if you have any questions.
