Scheduling Reminder -
Due to limited slots available per teacher, it is not possible for every parent/guardian to meet with every one of their child’s teachers.

Ed., Art, Music, Tech Ed, and Health).
If parents/guardians wish to meet with additional core/unified art teachers or the team as a whole please contact the specific teacher or team to set up a mutually agreed upon time, during the school day, outside of the conference dates to meet.
Parents/guardians can also schedule meetings with the guidance counselor, social worker, psychologist, speech and language, and special education teachers using this system.
