REMINDER!!
Student Led Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for tonight (Monday, February 21) and Wednesday, February 23, between 5:00 and 8:00 p.m. Conference times are being scheduled and arranged with seminar teachers. Students have been working on several different things to share during conferences and the students will be leading the conferences with the assistance of their seminar teacher. The purpose of Student-Led Parent Conferences is to discuss your student's Individual Plan of Study, which includes strengths/areas for growth, career fields of interest and class choices for next year. Seniors will not be participating in Student Led Parent/Teacher Conferences.
All teachers will be available during conferences. If parents would like to visit with other teachers during this time, please check to see if they are free or schedule a time to meet.
We look forward to seeing ALL parents attend conferences! If you have any questions regarding spring conferences, please contact the office at 785-726-3151.
Track Coaches Needed!
We need a JH head track coach and a HS head track coach. If you are interested, please contact Derek Schoenthaler at 785-726-3151.
