Kinard’s Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, October 10 and Tuesday, October 15 from 4:00-7:00 p.m.
Conferences on both October 10 and 15 will be 5-minute drop-in style conferences in our cafeteria and gymnasiums. You can come and chat with any of your child’s teachers without having to sign up ahead of time.
Our School Resource Officer, Kate Garcia, will also be on site on Tuesday, October 15 to answer any questions you might have regarding her role at Kinard, student safety, or internet safety. Stop by her table in the cafeteria to learn more!
Parent/Teacher Conferences are a great way to meet your child’s teachers, learn about your child’s classes, ask individual questions about your child’s academic progress, and gain insight into a variety of school resources to support your child’s learning throughout the year. We understand that 5 minute conferences may not be enough time to discuss concerns and also that the need to communicate with teachers can arise throughout the school year; therefore, you may contact any of your child’s teachers at any point throughout the school year to discuss any concerns or questions you may have.

Additionally, because of the number of students that each middle school teacher serves, we know we cannot visit with every family and that conference lines are often long. You can also communicate with teachers via email or view your child’s progress in each class via ParentVUE. Parent/guardian attendance is not required at either the in-person or virtual conferences, though we do want to offer this opportunity for those interested.
If you have any questions about parent/teacher conferences, please contact Erin LaRue, Assistant Principal, at elarue@psdschools.org or at (970)488-5410.
