Dear Parents/Guardians,
Parent/Guardian-Teacher Conferences will be held on dates and times listed above. The conference is an essential means of communicating with the school and your child’s teachers about your child’s progress. In the time before the conferences, I encourage you to come up with questions about your child and his/her achievement to date. As a starting point for your thinking, visit the PowerSchool parent portal and check your child’s grades. The purpose of the conference is to afford an opportunity for sharing information and views designed to promote the welfare of your child. During the conference, you are invited to discuss his/her program and progress and to set goals for the remainder of the year.
Please think about the information you would like to receive from the teacher regarding your child’s progress and information you think the teachers should know to help promote the highest level of achievement.
The following are some questions you may want to ask:
How can I support his/her work at home?
How does he/she get along with others?
What difficulties, if any, is he/she experiencing?
Is he/she working to his/her ability?
How much time should he/she be spending on work at home?
It is also important for you to tell the teachers about your child’s home life, hobbies and habits. This information will help the teachers to understand your child better.
How do I schedule an appointment?
Parent/Guardian conferences are scheduled through your PowerSchool Parent Portal account on the Portal Website only. The option is currently not available through the App or on a Smart Phone. Here is the link to the website Link . Parents/Guardians with more than one child in the district can schedule appointments for each child separately. If you are unable to schedule through the Parent Portal please contact the schools offices directly to create a Portal Account.

Reading Intervention
Sign up for an additional conference with the Reading Department to discuss what we are working on with your child in the Leveled Literacy Intervention program, what we are noticing about your child’s reading behaviors, and how you can support your child’s reading at home. You might want to consider planning this conference either before or after your conference with your child’s classroom teacher. Be sure to go to Event box and use the Reading Intervention dropdown when you schedule.
