Lower School Conferences

At its core, education is a partnership between parents and teachers. As our Family Handbook says, our teachers “are honored by the great trust that parents have placed in them. This trust between the parents and the school must be maintained by ongoing communication and mutual understanding.” One of the key methods we use to build trust and maintain open communication with you, our parents, is our annual conferences.

Conferences

We are looking forward to meeting with you to discuss your child’s Quarter 1 progress! 

Lower School Conferences are scheduled for Monday, October 12th, and Tuesday, October 13th, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

This year, our school is exclusively holding in-person parent-teacher conferences. We believe these face-to-face meetings are essential for building strong relationships between parents and teachers for the good of our students. In-person conferences provide a valuable opportunity for you to connect directly with your child’s teachers, fostering a collaborative partnership in their education. Additionally, these meetings allow you to spend time in the classrooms and learning spaces your children use daily, giving you a deeper understanding of their school environment. We look forward to welcoming you to our school and working together to support your child’s success.

These conferences are designed to give you a personal and intimate window into the life and health of your student here at school. Your student’s teachers will be present at the meeting, giving personal examples to support the first quarter evaluation you will receive on October 10th.

Each conference is a 20-minute, parent and teacher-only meeting, where your child’s Lead and Apprentice teachers will be present to share specific examples of your student’s character, academic strengths, and areas for growth.

You will also be able to sign up for separate meetings with your child’s specials teachers and any student services staff (special education, ESL, Dyslexia) as needed. Our Deans of Student’s are also available for a scheduled meeting.

Below you will find the links for each grade level, including specials teachers. Directions:

        • Please choose only one slot for your student per teacher.
        • Please include the parent’s name first and then your child’s name in the space provided.
        • We ask that you arrive five minutes early so that we stay on schedule.
        • Please be respectful of the beginning and end time of your conference.
