Parent Teacher Conferences
Our school is excited to be able to hold Parent Teacher Conference on September 28th and 29th. The format this year is different than what has occurred in the past. Please read and let the school know if you have any questions. Conferences are from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm both nights. If you are unable to attend on these dates, or would like more time to discuss your student, please don’t hesitate to contact individual teachers to set up a time to meet.
September 28th – virtual conferences
On this night all meetings will be done using Zoom. You can access each teacher’s Zoom link by visiting a teachers Canvas page. Here is a step-by-step process to access Canvas pages.

September 29th – in person conferences
On this night, parents can meet with teachers face-to-face. These meetings will occur in our gym and cafeteria. We encourage all patrons to wear a mask when they arrive. We will also have sanitizer and masks available if needed. We also ask that you enter using the front entrance (Northwest doors). Once inside we will have volunteers here to help guide you to where you need to go. Once you are done, we also ask that you exit using the south doors. Upon entering, we invite all parents to stop by the auditorium to watch some school produced clips relating to what students do here at Granite Park to increase their success. These are great videos designed to reinforce skills and processes designed to increase student success. We also invite parents to enjoy a small treat from the school for your participation. We hope to see all of you on these nights so we can work together to meet the needs of your students.

These cards are then turned in by students who receive rewards and are entered in drawings for larger prizes. P.R.I.D.E. is reinforced in many of the things we do here at Granite Park.

P = Prepared R = Respect I = Integrity D = Determination E = Excellence
