Arranging a Freshman Academy Parent/Teacher Conference

Initial parent conferences are always held with the full Academy team, which includes the counselor, English teacher, World History teacher, Health/PE teacher, and Earth Science/Honors Biology teacher.  Administrators attend some conferences as well.  Subsequent conferences can be held with individual teachers and the team’s counselor and/or administrator.

To arrange a conference with your child’s Academy team, please contact your child’s counselor.
