Dear Secondary Parents,

We look forward to seeing you on campus this Thursday or Friday for parent-teacher conferences. Your child’s involvement in the conferences is highly encouraged. Conferences are an opportunity to celebrate successes and to discuss how students can increase their learning. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Please note the following

• If you have not signed up for a conference, please do so through INSIS or contact the secondary office for assistance. 
• Each appointment is 10 minutes in length 
• Please make sure you account for passing time between conferences 
• Teachers will hold firm to the conference sign up times. If you are late to a meeting, your time will be limited to the scheduled time or a new appointment will need to be scheduled. 
• Wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a great deal.

Art Show: Grades 6, 7 and 8 first trimester art students will have an art show in the SAS MS / HS art rooms 301. Parents do not need an appointment to view the art show. The show will be up only during the PTC.

The Writing Assessment Program (WrAP) administration dates for grade 6-10 students have been changed from November 7-10 to November 14-17.
