From the Principal’s Desk…

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for November 20-22, 2023 and will be held in-person on Monday, November 20th and virtually on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 21st-22nd. From Monday, November 6th at 8:00am, through Friday, November 17th at 12:00pm, parents/guardians can log into HCPSS Connect to view and select available time slots to meet with teachers.

The purpose of this conference window is to allow parents/guardians the opportunity to meet with staff to discuss general student progress. Accordingly, each conference slot is 15 minutes long and will be conducted in-person on Monday and through google meets on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you have a pressing concern, you are strongly encouraged to contact the teacher to discuss it outside of the conference window. Synergy Conference Management allows users to schedule time with individual teachers. We do not recommend scheduling your conferences back-to-back (on Monday) as you will lose meeting time while walking to each conference.

To permit access to our staff by all parents with interest, we ask that parents schedule conferences only for those classes for which there are concerns. Unlike your experience in elementary school, middle level educators do not have a slot for each and every student. So, please be strategic about who you’d like to see and mindful of the need for your neighbors to have the same access.

For step by step directions, please refer to the parent directions. Should you have any questions or require assistance scheduling your appointments during the scheduling window, please contact Ms. Ranita Knight, Student Services Secretary, via email at ranita_knight@hcpss.org. For questions about availability or course specific questions, please contact the teacher directly.
