Monday October 15th is the date for this year’s Parent-Teacher-Student conferences. This will be an opportunity for parents and students to come to the school and sit down for brief conferences with your child’s teachers. We recommend that if your student is struggling with their grade in any of their classes that you plan on attending this conference.
We would like to take this opportunity to provide information to you regarding the format of our Parent-Teacher-Student conferences. The format for these conferences is different than what parents may be familiar with at the elementary school level. Conferences begin at 1:00pm on Monday the 15th in the Large Gym. We require that parents sign up for one time-slot to come to conferences. We encourage you to bring your student with you so that when you conference with the teachers, all individuals involved in the success of the student are present. THERE WILL BE NO CONFERENCES ON TUESDAY THE 16th. Tuesday is an early release day where all students and teachers go home early due to the conferences on Monday night.
When you arrive to conferences at your predetermined time, conferences will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Teachers will will be sitting at individual tables around the Large Gym. Parents and students will line up behind the teachers they want to conference with. Conferences in this format are brief 3-5 minute conversations with your child’s teacher in regards to their progress in the class. Your child’s report card will have been mailed home and available on Aeries Parent Portal previous to parent-teacher-student conferences, so you may want to focus on the courses where your child struggles the most. Some things you may want to address in these brief conferences include the following:
Assignments/Missing assignments
Assessments/Tests
Student in-class participation/behavior
Strengths
Areas for improvement
If your brief conference is not enough time to address all of the concerns you may have with your child’s teacher, you may need to schedule a longer conference with your child’s teacher in order to discuss strategies and solutions for your students. Our aim is to answer as many questions about your child’s progress as possible during the parent-teacher-student conference.
Administrators and Counselors will also be available during Parent-Teacher-Student conferences to discuss your child’s progress and answer any questions you may have about your student’s education here at Mountain House High School.
