Parent Conferences 2016
Parent conferences for all grades are scheduled for Thursday, November 3, from 8 a.m. to noon; 1 to 5 p.m.; and 6 to 9 p.m. There will be no school for students on this day. Please call the office beginning at 8:30 am on Wednesday, October 19, to schedule appointments for students in all grades. First quarter report cards will be mailed Friday, October 28, but please call before that time to ensure that you will be able to schedule conferences. High school parents-- please have your child's schedule available when you call.
Parents will meet with middle school teachers for 5 minutes and with high school teachers for 10 minutes. Please note the organizational details below.
1) 6th grade parents will meet with each teacher (Mr. Buscher, Mrs. Hayes, and Ms. Shultz) for 6 minutes. Parents will be scheduled for 20 minute time slots, e.g., 8:00, 8:20, 8:40, 9:00, etc. All meetings will take place in the library where the three teachers will set up in separate locations in the room. At the beginning of each session, three sets of parents having that time period as their appointment will enter the library. Each set of parents will begin with one of the three teachers. After 6 minutes, the parents will rotate to the next teacher, and so on. At the 20 minute mark, those parents must leave the library and three new sets of parents will begin their rotation.
2) 7th and 8th grade parents will meet with each teacher (Ms. Dorsey, Mrs. Erby, Mrs. O'Leary, Mrs. Pile, Mr. Shindle, and Mrs. Zboinski) for 5 minutes each. Parents will be scheduled on the half hour, e.g., 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, etc. Meetings will take place in the Commons where the six teachers will set up in separate locations in the room. On the half hour, six sets of parents having that time period as their appointment will enter the Commons. Each set of parents will begin with one of the six teachers. After 5 minutes, the parents will rotate to the next teacher, and so on. At the 30 minute mark, those parents must leave the area and the six new sets of parents will begin their rotation.
3) High school parent teacher conferences are scheduled at 10 minute intervals with individual teachers in the teachers' classrooms.
Teachers will begin conferences by asking you what you would like to know about your child. Therefore, before your conference, it might be wise to take time to jot down a few questions. Do you want to know how your child is getting along socially? Do you want to know if work is being turned in? Do you have questions about grades or comments on the report card? Remember, it's your time and you need to spend your time learning answers to your questions!
PLEASE BE ON TIME AND BE CONSIDERATE OF PARENTS WAITING FOR THEIR DESIGNATED APPOINTMENTS. Please feel free to call individual teachers at school and talk with them on the phone if you cannot meet with them on November 3 or if your concerns will take longer than the allotted time.
