Dear Parents and Students,
I look forward to meeting with you during our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences!
Parents can schedule a 10-minute conference held in Room 222 or via Google Meet using Calendly:
👉 Schedule Your Conference: https://calendly.com/jgarritson/conference
These meetings are Student-Led. Students should attend the conference alongside their parent(s) and bring a fully charged iPad.
Before your scheduled conference time:
Prepare the iPad: Open and log into PowerSchool, McGraw Hill Grades, Rooms, and Google Classroom.
Check Academic Progress: Look over current grades, assignment details, and class updates together.
Review Course Policies: Walk through the Syllabus, Grading System, and Participation Grade Policy.
Note: If you need additional conference time beyond 10 minutes, please send me a message directly in Rooms or via email.
Kindest regards,
Mr. Garritson
United States and World History
