Our annual fall Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, September 25th and Thursday, September 26th in the D’Evelyn gymnasium. The conferences are held in an arena format, so families may meet with teachers on a first come, first served basis. We do encourage students to attend conferences to engage in thoughtful conversations with teachers. The schedule is as follows: Wednesday, September 25th 5:00 - 7:30 pm Thursday, September 26th 3:00 - 5:30 pm Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences are earlier this year than in prior years, to avoid scheduling conflicts with Homecoming Week. One benefit of this earlier week for Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences is that it allows for conversations to happen earlier in the school year, and should help us all identify if additional support is needed for a student. Conferences will occur before the end of the first six-week grading window concludes on Friday, September 27th. Parents are still encouraged to review their student’s grades in Parent Portal prior to the conferences. The purpose of the Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences is to allow parents and students the opportunity to connect individually with their teachers. There are a variety of opportunities for conversation points presented by the conferences, including but not limited to:
There are no appointments or set schedules for meetings; rather, parents and students will have an opportunity to meet with teachers on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the evening. Please bring a copy of your child’s schedule for use during the conferences. We will not be distributing copies of schedules during conferences. In order to allow all families an opportunity to meet with teachers, we ask that conferences are kept to a maximum of five minutes per teacher. In the event that you need more than five minutes of meeting time with the teacher, please set up an appointment for a future date and time. During conferences, counselors and administrators will also be available to meet with parents and students as well. Thank you for your continued support of your child in their educational experience at D’Evelyn. We appreciate and rely upon your support in order to maintain high academic and behavioral standards for all of our students. Parents and families play an important role in the success of D’Evelyn students. We are grateful for your commitment to supporting your student’s success in our liberal arts program. We hope that Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences are an effective way by which you can support your student’s success. Parents can support our Teacher Dinners for Parent-Teacher Conferences: If you are interested in contributing to the potluck meals for teachers on Wednesday 9/25, Thursday 9/26, or both, please sign up here!
