It's that time of year again - Parent-Teacher Conferences! Conferences will be held Wednesday and Thursday, from 4 PM to 7:45 PM each day. Please make plans to be there! Due to coaching duties, I will not be at my table until approximately 5:45 each day. If this does not work with your schedule, PLEASE contact me individually so that we can make alternative arrangements.
Yesterday, the Omaha World Herald ran a great piece about how to make the most of Parent Teacher Conferences. Please take a moment to read the article as you prepare to meet your student's teachers this week. There are some great tips!

In addition, please consider the following:
- Bring your student(s) with you, if at all possible. Their learning should be a cooperative endeavor between parents, students and teachers.
- Students should bring any materials that are related to their success in this class - physics notebook, planner, assignments, etc. This could help our discussion about strategies moving forward.
- Review your student's grade breakdown on PowerSchool prior to coming. Talk it over with your student so that you have an idea of what you would like to discuss specifically with me.
- Please be prepared to keep all discussions at around 5 minutes or so. Most likely I will see a lot of parents this week, and I want to make sure to have time for all of them. If there is anything we need to discuss that would take us beyond that amount of time, we can set up another meeting to discuss in more detail.
