Parent Teacher Conferences

General Information about MLW Parent Teacher Conferences

· Conferences are held twice a year, once in November after the first nine weeks’ report card grades are completed and again in February after the second nine weeks’ report card.

About a week before conferences, parents are sent registration links to sign up for specific time slots with teachers.

· It is recommended that parents and students discuss which teachers to prioritize for conferences since it may be difficult to schedule an appointment with every teacher. If a parent is unable to schedule a conference with a teacher because the teacher slots are all filled, the parent should contact the teacher by phone or email to discuss any concerns. Because there are fewer slots in February, please schedule February appointments only when there are specific issues that you feel need to be discussed.

· Appointments are scheduled in ten-minute intervals. In some cases, teachers and parents may not be able to complete the conference during the scheduled time. In such an event, the parent will be invited to continue the conference at another time, or by phone/email.

· Students are not expected to attend conferences. If parents feel it would be beneficial to have a student present, students are welcome to attend.
