CONFERENCE SIGN UP: FALL PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES: Our Winter 2025 Parent Teacher Conferences will be on March 4th (Mostly Virtual), March 11th (In Person) and 13th (Virtual or In Person). Please use SignUpGenius to schedule a time to meet with your child's teacher. You can sign up for conference times here. Parents can request any format (virtual or in person) on any of the evenings. We ask that dual households schedule one conference for their child. This helps everyone to be on the same page to support the student’s learning, it also allows the teacher to have enough time slots for all of the students in their class. Sign up times for specials teachers are also available. Resource Room and Intervention Teachers will join student's homeroom teacher times. If you experience problems signing up, feel free to contact our office at 231-933-7800 or your child's teacher.
