Dear Redbird Families,
One of the most meaningful ways to stay connected to your child’s learning is through a conference with their teacher(s). Parent-teacher conferences provide an opportunity not only to learn more about academic progress but also to strengthen the sense of belonging that is central to our district’s mission. These conversations allow families and teachers to share insights, ask questions, and work together in support of each student’s success. This month, time has been set aside for these important meetings:
Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Friday, October 30, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Teachers are available to discuss your student's progress this year and share their first quarter report card. If a Zoom meeting or phone call is preferred instead of an in-person conference, please call, email, or send a Parent Square message to the teacher(s) by Monday, October 26th. After conferences, a copy of the report card will also be posted in each student's Skyward Portfolio.
Alton Middle School will schedule conferences by phone or Parent Square. Please use the numbers below to call your student's school directly to set an appointment.
