Conferences

Teachers will reach out to families at least once each semester during the school year to give an update on student progress. At the elementary level, teachers will personally connect with each family to have a conversation about their student’s academic and social/emotional development. At the secondary level, teachers may provide an email update for students who are doing well or may request a meeting if they have any concerns. Families who wish to have further conversation can request a meeting in-person or online.

Teachers will continue to share information with families throughout the year. Elementary families receive weekly classroom newsletters or other regular communications from teachers. Middle and high school families will be able to keep up with grades and assignments on Schoology.

While this style of conferencing has been happening at the secondary level for several years, it is new to elementary families. We’ll be gathering feedback from staff and families on the new conferencing process and use it to inform how we improve communication with families into the future.
