HHS conferences scheduled
Parent conferences are scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 30 from 4-8 p.m. and Monday, Oct. 4 from 4-7:30 p.m.. Conferences are being held earlier this year so that parents and teachers may assist students before the final quarter grade is determined. Mid-quarter reports will be available the night of the conferences. Teachers will be located alphabetically in the cafeteria area to counsel with parents on an individual basis. Conferences should be limited to five to 10 minutes to accommodate all parents who want an opportunity to meet with each teacher. If a longer conference is needed, please make an appointment to speak with the teacher at another time. School counselors will be available in their offices both evenings.
