Parent Teacher Conferences
On Sept. 15, Kenston Middle School and Kenston High School will host parent conferences for the first nine weeks. The parent teacher conference is an opportunity for parents to learn about their child’s progress in school and for teachers to gain insight into their student’s home and community lives.
Both schools utilize an “open” format with teachers at individual tables set up in the gym where parents can stop to see any or all of their child’s teachers.
Middle school conferences are from 3-7 p.m. and high school conferences are scheduled from 4-8 p.m. Parents may utilize Infinite Campus during the school year to check their student’s weekly progress.
