Parent Teacher Conferences will be this Thursday, September 17, from 3:30 -7:00 p.m. Here are a few reminders about this Parent Teacher Conference:
-First, and most importantly Parents/guardians MUST have a scheduled appointment to attend Parent Teacher Conference for grades 6-8. If you have not yet made an appointment, please contact VBHS at 946-2442 or log in to your child’s 1st block Google Classroom to do so. If you have a confirmed scheduled appointment with a teacher, you should have received an email from the teacher to let you know your appointment time.
-Second, it is not necessary to schedule an appointment for grades 9-12. However, we encourage everyone to practice social distancing and to wear a mask.
-Third, if you are not able to attend in person, you may schedule a phone conference with your student’s teacher. Phone conferences will be scheduled from 6-7 p.m. for the evening of September 17. Please call the high school by Wednesday, September 16, to schedule a phone conference.
-We encourage everyone attending Parent Teacher Conference to practice social distancing.
-Please remain in your car until 3-4 minutes before your appointment time.
-Everyone is encouraged to wear a mask.
-Please understand that conference times are being restricted to 5 MINUTES in order to minimize risk of exposure to those who may be unaware that they are positive for COVID.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
7th Grade Parents:
Please have your child login to their google classroom. In their first block class, this would be science, math, or reading-language arts, there is a link for you to make your appointment for parent-teacher conference. If you are unable to do so please call the school at 931-946-2442 or email your child’s first block teacher with the time that would best work for you and we will schedule you as close to that time as possible.
