Parent Teacher Conference

March 25-26, 2019

Communication is fundamental for the success of every student at ISB, which is why we encourage you to engage with your children’s teachers throughout the school year. Our biannual parent teacher conferences are an opportunity for you to come into the classrooms to learn more about your children's educational experience, areas of strength, and areas that need improvement.

This spring, parent teacher conferences will take place on Monday, March 25 and Tuesday, March 26. The conferences provide an opportunity for you to meet directly with teachers. Please see additional details by division below:

Elementary School

  • Monday, March 25: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
  • Tuesday, March 26: 8:00 am 15:30 pm

All ES students will attend the Student-Led Conferences with their parents.

  • PreK 3 and PreK 4 students will attend a 20-minute conference.
  • Kindergarten to Grade 5 students will attend a 45-minute conference that includes a 30-minute session where they share their learning, their portfolio of work and progress on their goals. There is also a 15-minute meeting between the student, parents, and teacher.

In addition, for Kindergarten to Grade 5 students, you are able to book a 10-minute session with world language teachers should you wish. If you also wish to meet with your child’s specialist teachers, you may do so by contacting them directly in advance or stopping by their classroom on the day of the conferences.

Supervision will be offered for elementary school students with siblings at ISB, so that you can focus on each child at their individual conference. Teaching assistants will provide a variety of activities in the ES Cafeteria.

Middle School

  • Monday, March 25: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
  • Tuesday, March 26: 8:00 am 15:30 pm

All MS students will conduct a Student-Led Conference in either Gym 2 (Grades 6 and 7), the Upper Gallery (Grade 8), or the Futures Academy space (Futures Academy students). You will only need to book one 30-minute time slot for each child. Before or after your appointment, please feel free to drop in and chat with any of your child’s teachers for an optional, 5-minute, informal visit. All of the teachers will be in the vicinity of the Student-Led Conferences. We will also have a program of Parent and Student Learning Sessions taking place in the Futures Academy classrooms all day Monday and in the morning on Tuesday. All parents of students in Grades 5-8 are welcome to attend these sessions with their children. Further information about these sessions will be shared prior to the conferences and will be posted on signs during the conferences.

High School

  • Monday, March 25: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
  • Tuesday, March 26: 8:00 am 15:30 pm

HS students and parents are welcome to meet with their teachers for a 10-minute conference for regular courses. If students are studying one of our interdisciplinary courses, these conferences will be for 20 minutes.

Booking Conference

In an effort to make the process as simple as possible and to minimize conflicts for families with more than one child at ISB, we have established the following sign-up schedule:

  • March 8: Registration opens at 12:00 noon for families with more than one child at ISB

March 13: Registration is open at 12:00 noon to all families

Sign-ups will remain open for all families until 12:00 noon on March 22. After this time, if you need to make changes or cancel an appointment, we ask that you send an e-mail or make a phone call to the appropriate divisional office so that we can notify the teacher involved.

Kind reminders:

  • There is no normal school-day for students on these two days
  • Please remember to bring a copy of your schedule with you
