November 24th, 25th, and 26th are designated for Parent Teacher Conferences this year. We will be holding 20-minute conferences. All conferences will be held with your child’s ELA teacher if students are in grades K-2. Below are the details about how they will be held based on the date of the conference:
~Monday, November 24th - All Conferences In-Person at HES (Any 5th grade conferences scheduled for 5 pm or later, will be held inside the building.)
~Tuesday, November 25th - All Conferences Virtual - link will be sent
~Wednesday, November 26th - All Conferences Virtual - link will be sent
If you choose a virtual conference, the Google Meet code will be sent to you with your confirmation email. Your child’s ELA teacher will be sending out specifics about this Google Meet as well.
Please note, if your child is in a 4th grade Above and GT math class, we will hold 4th grade GT math conferences for the fall (current conference window) and 5th grade GT math conferences in the winter (February conference window). This means parents with 4th grade students who are in GT math class have the opportunity to sign up with the homeroom/ELA teacher, as well as, math teacher. Our GT resource teacher, Mrs. Meyer will be sending out more information through Canvas.
If your child is in grades 3-5, please read the Canvas message sent by your child’s teacher for conference sign up directions. Due to departmentalization, we are sending out individualized messaging.
If your conference is virtual, once you enter the Google code or link, you will be put in a “holding space” until the teacher admits you. Because many conferences will be back-to-back, please only log on one minute before your designated time. If you have technology challenges, check email as your child’s teacher will reach out to you that way. You can also call the school for assistance.
