EVENING PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
The board supports schools utilizing flexible scheduling and other alternatives to ensure maximum participation of parents at parent-teacher conferences.
The following guidelines are to be applied when planning for parent-teacher conferences outside regular school hours:
1) A written copy of the school plan for conferences shall be forwarded to the Superintendent’s Department for approval at least one month prior to the conference date.
2) It is recommended a total minimum of 5.5 hours be allocated for parent conferences.
3) In addition to the evening opportunity, principals need to ensure that the parent-teacher conference plan include some time during the designated conference day. Further, where practical, it is recommended time be made available to parents during the lunch break (12:00 - 1:00 p.m.).
