Parent teacher conferences

Greetings!  This is Carol Kendrick, President of AMLA.  With parent-teacher conferences coming up shortly, I hope you will share your best parent-teacher conference suggestion with us.

Explorer Middle Schools hosts parent/teacher conferences for two consecutive nights from 4:30 - 8:00 PM. Parents with the last name beginning A-L attend the first night and parents with the last name M-Z attend the second night. This format has greatly reduced the length of time that parents spend in line. Our PTO provides cookies and coffee, and we utilize tables to distribute important information to parents. We communicate information about P/T conferences in our school newsletter, as well as, several flyers sent home through backpack express. Survey results indicate that parents are very happy with the new format for P/T conferences.
