Dear Parents and Guardians,

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, March 5, from 4:30-7:00 pm in the Catholic Central downtown campus gym. Teachers will be arranged alphabetically. There will be no advance sign-up for the five-minute conference slots. Conferences are especially important when students are experiencing academic challenges. While all parents are welcome to attend, conferences are not a required CC event. If your child is performing well, you may feel confident choosing not to attend.

Each conference is intended to last no more than five minutes. If a more in-depth conversation is needed, we ask that you schedule a separate meeting with the teacher at an alternate time.

As students mature throughout their high school years, we intentionally foster self-regulation and self-advocacy skills. We value our partnership with parents in supporting students’ growth as scholars and young adults. We encourage parents to reach out to teachers whenever questions or concerns arise that students are not able to address themselves. There is never a need to wait for conferences to ask a question, discuss a concern, or strengthen that partnership.

Helpful Tips:

• Please bring your child’s class schedule with you.
• Consider sitting down with your son or daughter beforehand to review their teachers and classes. Ask them to assess their performance in each class.
• A screenshot of their schedule on your phone works well.
• A Spanish translator from the Office of Catholic Schools will be available.
• Guidance and Student Support Services will also be present.

We look forward to partnering with you in support of your child(ren).

Abby Kanitz
