All requests for conferences must indicate a specific date and time. Do not schedule conferences in the middle of the day when you are teaching children. You may schedule conferences during your planning period, if you wish. A conference log is to be maintained by every teacher.

For the conference, parents are permitted to invite another person of his or her choice as per Senate Bill 1108. At the conclusion of a meeting, parents and school district personnel in attendance must sign a form stating whether any school district personnel have prohibited, discouraged or attempted to discourage the parents from inviting anyone to the meeting. If the parent participates in a meeting via telephone, then the teacher should mail or send the form electronically and request that the parent sign and return.

RETENTION Decisions concerning promotion or retention are to be made after due consideration by the teacher and the principal. The policy of our school system is that total growth of the individual child forms the basis for promotion practices. Emphasis shall be placed yearly on the mastery of skills in reading, writing and mathematics. Likewise, student size, maturity and parent attitude must also be considered before recommendation for retention. Parents must be notified of the possibility for retention by May 1. This notification is to be done via a parent/teacher conference. This conversation is to be noted on the parent/teacher conference form each time it is discussed. Promotional outlook is indicated on report cards beginning in the second quarter. The Child Study Team will convene to discuss the reasons for retention. The teacher is to actively participate in this committee. The committee's responsibility is to provide support and additional information to the teacher as he-she makes the decision to promote or retain a student.
