Agenda Item Summary: This Brief updates the School Board about the 2024 second semester schedule for ACPS parent-teacher conferences.
Background: Parent-teacher conferences play a pivotal role in a child's education by fostering collaboration and communication between parents and educators. These meetings offer a valuable opportunity for parents to gain insights into their child's academic progress, social development, and overall well-being within the school environment. Conferences also provide a platform for discussing any concerns or challenges that may arise and reinforce the idea that education is a shared responsibility between home and school. When parents are actively engaged in their child's education through these conferences, students often feel more motivated and supported, leading to improved academic performance.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information in this Brief.
