School is in session all week, October 26–30, 2026. These are regular school days with regular hours. The conferences happen on top of the school day, in the afternoons and evenings.
That is worth saying plainly, because conference week is often confused with a break. Send your child to school as usual. Then come back later in the day for your conference time.
Teachers hold conference slots after classes and into the evening so working parents have a real chance to come. You sit down with your child’s teacher and go through where your child actually is — what they have mastered, what is still hard, how they are doing with their classmates, and what would help at home. The first quarter ended October 14, so first-quarter grades are in hand and there is something concrete to talk through.
Conference times are scheduled through the school. Watch The Glow newsletter and the FACTS Family Portal for sign-ups, or call the office to arrange a time.
