Week of October 12
Post date: Oct 11, 2015 5:37:04 PM
Parent-Teacher Conferences: Thursday, October 15th from 2:00 to 7:30 PM.Bring your child, their iPad, and come visit with the teachers about the 1st Trimester of the 2015-2016 School Year. We would love for our students to be apart of these conferences and have them show us their grades on their iPad using Infinite Campus. If your child is unable to come with you to conferences, please stop by the office to receive a printed grade report. The conferences at Webster City Middle School are Open House Style and don't have specific times scheduled to meet with teachers. Feel free to come anytime between 2:00 and 7:30 PM to discuss the progress being made so far this school year. Please respect our staff's time in getting setup and prepared for conferences after school is dismissed on Thursday by not arriving before 2:00 PM. We will also be sticking to a 7:30 PM ending time, so that our teachers can be prepared for another day of teaching and learning on Friday. If this date and times doesn't work to meet with our staff, please don't hesitate to contact teachers to setup another meeting time. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the great things happening at Webster City Middle School, and to discuss how we can all work together to make them even better!
