Parent Teacher Conferences
We will be offering in person (at Beadle) conferences as well as virtual conferences via Google Meet (similar to Zoom). Families may sign up to conference with any of their student’s teachers. Please only sign up for one conference time slot per teacher. If your student is excelling with academics and does not have any other hurdles with their school day, we understand that conferences might not be necessary for your student, and that is ok! If you feel meeting with one of your student’s teachers will help with communication, organization, behavior, work completion, etc, then we encourage you to set up a time to meet with that teacher. With academic progress information available through the ParentVUE app, along with other communication, you may feel in tune with where your student is. Conferences are an opportunity to help ensure both families and the school are all working in unison to support each student. Our Fall 2024 Conference schedule is below.
Thursday, October 3rd-4:00-8:00 10-Minute GOOGLE MEET Conferences
Monday, October 7th -4:00-8:00 10-Minute IN PERSON Conferences
Monday, October 16th -12:30-3:30 10-Minute GOOGLE MEET Conferences
PLEASE USE A WEB BROWSER (instead of the ParentVUE app):
Links for GOOGLE MEET conferences will be sent the day before those conference times.
Questions? Please see this attached document for a visual guide of instructions
Parent’s Guide to Signing Up for Conferences

Homework
Homework Lab
Homework Lab is our after school program that helps ensure the kids are getting their homework done each day. The way this works is if a child comes to class without their work completed, they are asked to stay after school until 4:00 to complete the work and/or complete other work. Your child will call, email, or text you to let you know they have to stay. There are times when a child cannot stay and we can work around those times.
