Fall Conferences


One of our Core Values is “Make our schools the best choice for parents and students.” Thank you for doing this EVERYDAY, especially as we prepare for P-T conferences. Please click here for our expectations pertaining to discussing students’ academic performance, attendance, retention, and scheduling.

As a reminder, salary staff are expected to stay until 8:00 pm on Monday and 4:00 pm on Tuesday. The PTO will be providing a meal on both days.

DON’T FORGET:

During conferences, teachers must review our Parent-School Compact with each family as a requirement of our grants’ compliance.  Use the sign-in sheet to track each family you review the contract with. Stacey Reed will send a copy of the contract and the sign-in sheet that should be used.  Please put your name on the sheet and submit completed sheets to Stacey Reed after your last conference is held.

Extra, Extra Prep

We would love to offer you an extra hour of prep this trimester! Extra, Extra Prep will be available the week of November 2-6. We hope this will either help you finalize grades, prepare for conferences, change your bulletin board, and/or complete other tasks.

Please note:

       ·       This is for salary staff, however, if an hourly staff needs additional time, please see your dean.

       ·       We will do our very best to make sure that you get your prep(s), however, if too many people call off on a particular day, we may need to reschedule your extra prep.

       ·       It’s our desire to do this at least once a trimester as long as subs are available.

If you are a classroom teacher and would like to have an extra hour of prep, please follow the steps below.

     1.     Click on this sign-up sheet by 3:45 on Tuesday, October 27.

     2.     Pick one time slot.

     3.     Prepare lesson plans for a sub.

Finalized schedule will be emailed Friday, October 30.
