ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT/PARENT CONFERENCES
The Board recognizes the need for direct communication between parents and teachers regarding the academic achievement of students. Parent-teacher cooperation in educating students is absolutely necessary. Therefore, teachers shall schedule conferences with individual parents for the sole purpose of discussing the student's academic achievement in school. Such conferences shall be held during school days and/or evenings at least twice each school year; once in the fall and once in the spring. Students may be dismissed for one-half day on each conference day and they may attend such conferences along with their parents. A maximum of six conference days may be designated during any school year. Kindergarten and other teachers with 28 or more students may be granted additional conference time if needed.
