Clarification on Upcoming MS Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences March 28-29 and How to Schedule Your Appointment

Dear MS Parents,

As you know, our Middle School Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences will be taking place during the school day, in place of classes, on Thursday and Friday, next week.  Information about the actual conferences and what to expect were posted in the MS eNews on March 1st and again last week.  You can access that information by clicking on the following link: MS Conferences Information

To clarify, on the online scheduler, you will only be able to schedule a 90-minute block of time under the name of your child’s Humanities teacher – no other teacher names will appear.  When you attend the conferences next week, please be here at the start of your scheduled 90-minute block of time. Please note, you do not have any individual appointments set up with any of your child’s teachers, including Humanities!  You do have the 90-minute block of time reserved to see all your child’s teachers during that time on a walk-in basis.  Expectation is each individual conference with a teacher should last no more than 5 – 10 minutes.  Please click on the following link for a list to see room numbers and which teachers won’t be available for all or part of the conferences: Teacher conference rooms March 2013

For those of you who have not scheduled a block of time for conferences yet and would like to, please read the following on how to do so:
