PA DAY November 14, 2025 Parent/Guardian-Teacher Meetings

Regular and on-going communication is key to supporting your child’s growth. Discussions will include the student’s progress, what is being taught in class and how parent(s)/guardian(s) can support their child’s learning and ways to differentiate instructional practices.

 A communication will be sent home to parents/guardians with details of how to arrange a meeting. These meetings will be planned twice a year, November and February,  between the teacher and parent/guardian and may include the child.  

Parents will be informed of the time of their meeting, once it is scheduled.
