As most of you know, this week is Parent-Teacher conference week. In the secondary, we run our conferences as an open house. Those of you who wish to visit, know that you are free to visit any teacher either Tuesday or Thursday this week to discuss your student. For some of you, the Secondary Secretary, Becca Ross, will be or has reached out to you to schedule a conference. We schedule conferences with any student that has a failing grade or for any other concern a teacher may have, Becca will reach out to you to ensure that these get scheduled at a time that works for both the teacher and the family. If you as a parent or guardian would like to have a private time to talk with any specific teacher, please reach out to Becca Ross at 641-347-8421 or bross@eastunionschools.org to schedule a conference. Anna has access to all our teachers schedules and can get a conference set up for you. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you this week!
