News from Bigfork schools
Parent Teacher Conferences for all grades begin on Wednesday, November 13 – Thursday, November 14, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Students in Grades K-5 should have received appointment letters indicating when your child/children are scheduled to meet with their homeroom teachers.
All parents with students in Middle School and High School are also invited to attend these informational sessions. The 6th grade will have selected scheduled conferences on Wednesday, November 13. Letters were sent home last week to students with a scheduled conference. Otherwise, all other 6th grade parents can stop by anytime from 3:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 14. Due to the large number of conferences that would need to be scheduled, it is impossible to do individual meetings. If you would like to meet with any teachers in the Middle School or High School, please drop in at a time that is convenient for you between 4:00-7:00 p.m. on November 13 or November 14. The teachers will be here and would love to conference with you.
