General Information

· There should be no after school activities on Wednesday or Thursday.

· When you arrive, please come to the lobby or gym door to pick up a conference room location sheet and any other information needed.  Staff and students will be available to help you find team/teacher locations.

· Report Cards will be issued at the Team Check in Table. 

· Conferences are scheduled with Core Team teachers in 20 minute increments.  This will allow an average of 5 minutes with each of the Core Team teachers.  Core Team teachers rotate between four parents (or groups of parents) every 5 minutes during the 20 minute period.  If more time is needed with a particular teacher, it is recommended that a subsequent meeting be scheduled.

· Elective/Explo/Off Team teachers will be located in the Gym.  Each teacher will have an easel for sign ups.  Conferences with these teachers are on a first come, first served basis. 

· Plan on visiting the Elective/Explo/Off Team teachers before or after your Core Team appointment (see above for END times each evening).  

· The approximate time to allocate to meet with all 8 teachers is 1 hour, which includes 1) 20 minutes with the Core Team, 2) 10-15 minutes to travel to and from the Core Team location to the Gym and time to sign up for conferences on the easels provided, and 3) 20 minutes to meet with Elective/Explo/Off Team teachers. 

· Please arrive on time for your team appointment. Should you arrive late, you will only be allowed to conference for the remaining time allotted.
