Parent-Student-Teacher conferences allow parents, students, and teachers an opportunity to discuss a student’s academic progress near the mid-point in the semester. As students and parents can benefit by hearing the same commendations and recommendations from teachers, we strongly suggest students and parents attend conferences and participate in these conversations together.

Conferences are scheduled today from 2:00-8:00pm and again tomorrow from 11:00am-7:00pm. You do not need an appointment to hold a conference with a teacher. Instead, you can meet with your child’s teachers at your own pace and whenever they are available.

Enjoy the four-day weekend coming up! Remember, there are no classes tomorrow or Friday.

The DeLaSalle Guidance office invites students and families to learn more about college admissions at a panel tonight, from 5:30-6:30pm, in D104.

Art Club will not meet after school today because of Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences. See you again October 26. Thank you.
