Board moves conference dates to earlier November to give families earlier feedback
Summary
The board approved moving parent-teacher conference dates from late November into the first full week of November so families receive academic progress feedback sooner, a change staff said aligns conferences closer to first-quarter grading.
The board approved a minor calendar adjustment to move parent-teacher conferences from the Thanksgiving week dates to the first full week of November so families receive academic progress information sooner. Staff said having conferences closer to the end of the first quarter gives families more time to act on progress updates before the next grading period.
Speaker 3 explained that the first quarter typically ends on or about Oct. 31, and shifting conferences to the following week should give families time to respond to early indicators of academic concern. The board moved and approved the calendar change.
