Parent/Teacher Conferences
Dear Parents/Guardians:
During this school year, the middle schools have scheduled two sets of parent / teacher conferences to foster greater communication between parents and teachers. The second set will take place on the afternoon (12:45 – 2:45) of Thursday, April 9th and the evening (5:00 – 8:00) of Tuesday, March 24th.
Conferences will be scheduled at fifteen-minute intervals. You may designate your preference for a particular time slot and the teachers will make every effort to accommodate your needs. If a time slot is not available, the team leader will speak to you about alternatives that will still allow for parents/guardians to communicate with their child’s teacher. These options include a phone conference, a daytime conference during team meeting times, and/or e-mail communication.
We recognize that at this point in the school year, you may have had contact with your child’s teachers or counselor regarding his/her progress and may not feel the need for a conference at this time. However, if you are concerned about your child’s progress, are wondering how to better support your student at home, feel your child’s success could be improved by meeting with the team, or would just like to check in with your child’s teachers, please e-mail your child’s team leader to ensure that the desired communication occurs. Please note that if you would like to request a conference with your child’s Encore teacher, School Counselor or any other member of our support staff you can use the contact information listed below. Keep in mind that the evening conference slots fill up quickly and contacting your child’s Team Leader sooner rather than later affords you a greater opportunity to select a time that is convenient for you. Any requests for a conference must be submitted by 2:30 p.m. Thursday, March 19th. The team/teacher will inform you of your conference appointment no later than Monday, March 23rd.
I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities that exist to generate greater communication between you, the parent/guardian, and your child’s teachers.
Sincerely,
Joseph A. Piacentini
