If you do not sign up and schedule your own slot, you will be randomly assigned a slot on the schedule.
Out of respect for other parents who may be waiting please do not visit with a teacher for longer than your scheduled time. If you need more time with a certain teacher, please make arrangements for a separate conference.
If you have questions please contact the school office.
