Parent Teacher conferences will take place on Thursday, November 16 from 5:30 to 8pm and Friday, November 17 from 1-3pm through phone calls that were requested by parents on their Talos accounts. You will receive your schedule on November 14. In preparation for conferences, refer to this TIP SHEET.
There will be a special schedule on Friday, November 16 or students with 10th period ending at 12:11pm. There are no after school activities or AIS on Thursday or Friday. All students will leave the building after 10th period.
Please note, there is no way to add conference appointments to teacher schedules once the deadline for requests passed (November 9 at 5pm) as advertised. Please remember this is not your only opportunity to speak to a teacher or counselor about your child.
Reminders from our previous instructions:
- Conferences with teachers are 5 minutes each or 8 minutes if interpretation is needed.
- Conferences with counselors are 10 minutes each or 12 minutes if interpretation is needed.
- Please be sure to carefully review the phone number in your email, which you entered on your request; as we cannot change it for you. If you made a mistake, you will have to contact teachers to update them.
- Be available on your appointment date to answer calls that say “unknown”, “private” or “unlisted” as teachers may call from private phone numbers.
- IMPORTANT: You may not be scheduled for ALL your requests – this is NOT an error. The number of teachers that parents will speak to is dependent upon the number of parents that sign up; how many teachers they are interested in speaking to; and the number of appointments that can be scheduled in the allotted time frame including translation time and counselor assignment, which extends conferences.
- Please do not contact teachers asking them to “add” you to their schedule. Teachers have calls scheduled for their full time frames.
- Changes cannot be made once appointments are distributed.
- If a teacher is absent on PTC, they will contact you to arrange a mutually agreeable alternate time to have the phone call; we cannot 'fill in' your schedule with more calls due to absences.
