Hi
Raccoon Families and Students!
Our fall
family-teacher conferences will occur on Thursday, October 5, 2023.
Outlined below are the purpose and structure of family-teacher conferences at
OHS. Please check out the details below and let me know if you have any
questions!
Conference Dates and Format
- Semester 1: Thursday,
October 5 from 3:15-7:15pm
- Semester 2: Thursday,
February 22 from 3:15-7:15pm
All conferences are scheduled to be face-to-face in the teacher’s classroom or assigned office area. You will be alerted of the exact location for your conference prior to your meeting.
Purpose of Family-Teacher Conferences
To
start, please feel free to email teachers whenever you have questions or
concerns about the progress of your Raccoon. It even helps to share a
compliment or things that you feel are going well! The two designated
family-teacher conferences throughout the year are designed to be extended
conversations about one of the following topics:
- Career and
College Advancement Opportunities: A conversation meant to focus on
academic progression and learning opportunities that exist in the class
and shed light on recommended future coursework
- Academic
Support and Brainstorm: A focused discussion on a student’s
individual academic progress and sharing of ideas on how to best support
their academic needs in the class
Keep in mind that conferences are planned for teacher-family conversations. While myself and the Associate Principals will be around to meet or help you with anything, our counselors are available to meet on an as-needed basis through the You Can Book Me tool and will not be available for meetings on Family-Teacher conference nights.
Conference
Formats
Families
will sign up on Family Access for a 10-minute face-to-face conversation with
teachers. You will be able to sign up for a time slot for semester 1
conferences beginning at approximately 12:00pm on Monday, September 25, 2023.
Appointments can fill up quickly. If you cannot reserve a spot with a teacher, please feel free to email them directly and arrange an alternative time.
Thanks!
Jason
