Interims & Conferences

Can you believe we are half-way through the first quarter?  If you haven't been keeping up with your grades in your classes, this is a good point to pause, check Infinite Campus, and reassess where you stand and what changes (if any) you need to make to succeed in your classes.

In addition to checking IC for updates on your grades, it is also time for parents to sign up for Parent/ Teacher conferences.

Conferences will be held on Wednesday, September 28th from 3:30 - 7:20pm and on Thursday, October 6^th from 5:00 - 8:40pm.  Each conference will be scheduled in 15 minute time blocks.  Conferences allow parents the chance to learn about your student’s classroom performance from the teachers, it allows the opportunity for you to ask questions and they provide an opportunity to build a dialogue with the teachers regarding any thoughts and concerns you might have.

Parents, if you are interested in arranging to meet with one of your son or daughter’s teachers during conferences, the online system will be up and running for you to register for a meeting slot as of tomorrow morning at 8am.  Conferences will be scheduled as people sign up for them, so if you want to make sure you have times that work well for you, I strongly encourage you to register right away.  

Please follow the steps below to register for a parent/ teacher conference:

Also, senior students and parents, Thursday, October 6th at 7:00pm is the Financial Aid Presentation Night.  We schedule this meeting on a conference night to try to help parents minimize the number of nights that you have to be at school, so if you'd like to take advantage of both opportunities on the same night, simply select teacher conferences before 7 and then come and attend the financial aid presentation in the auditorium.
