Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for October 28th through October 30th (Tuesday-Thursday). Students in Grades 5-12 will be dismissed at 1:10 PM all three days of conferences. Students in Grades K-4 will have regular days of school and dismiss at the regular time on days, as arrangements have been made to ensure that conferences for these students can take place after 3:30 PM. Afternoon, bus routes will run at the time of the early dismissal and again at the time of regular dismissal.
We will again be conducting student-led conferences for students in Grades 5-12. Each student has been scheduled for a 15-minute block of time in which they will lead their own conference. Parents, and all of the student's teachers, are expected to attend the conference. Scheduled times will be sent home with students this afternoon. So please check with your student to ensure that you aware of your scheduled time(s). We have a very limited availability in regard to rescheduling conference times as we are planning to conduct over 100 conferences over the course of three days, with many of them taking place simultaneously. We will do our best to address conflicts that may arise; however, we cannot guarantee that additional time slots will be available.
This message has also been delivered via Rooms and can be accessed through the Edmunds Central app for those that have signed up.

Last spring we added Rooms, an extension of our current website and mobile app. This platform allows parents and students the ability to follow important classroom information and also provides a direct line of communication to the classroom teacher. Many of you have already signed up for this platform and are using it in connection with the Edmunds Central App. If you have not yet signed up, please check your email for an invitation to join Rooms (email will come from a company called Thrillshare). Our goal is to make Rooms the primary mode of communication between teachers, parents, and even students. Please visit the link below (which is also available on our website) for more information regarding Rooms.
