Parent/Teacher Conferences Sign Up Sheet Dear Parents, Before you know it, conference time will be here and I am looking forward to sharing your child’s progress in third grade. Each conference should run approximately 15-20 minutes. I have scheduled these conferences in 30 minute increments to prevent you from having to wait for your conference to begin. Please email me with your first, second, and third choices so I can get everyone scheduled. If none of these times are convenient for you, and you would prefer to have a phone conference, please contact me at school or by email. Thank you for your cooperation!
