Parent-Teacher Conferences
A parent-teacher conference is mandatory for all parents to attend at the end of the first
trimester and encouraged at the end of the second trimester. If you wish to meet with your
child’s teacher at a separate time from the mandatory conferences, it is necessary that you
make an appointment. You can do this by e-mailing your teacher and requesting an
appointment. Teachers are never to meet with parents during a scheduled class. During the
school day the teachers have assigned responsibilities and will not be available to parents
unless an appointment has been made.
Note: Teachers may only meet with a parent and or legal guardian of students, unless agreed
upon in advance by the teacher. In cases of divorced or separated parents, it is the
responsibility of the parents to either coordinate to schedule the conference together or make
separate appointments. It is helpful to the teacher if both parents can attend the conference at
the same time. Students in grades 7-8 should attend the Parent/Teacher conference with
their parent. Attendance is optional for students in grades K-6. Students and/or siblings should
not be left unattended.
