A communication was sent on Wednesday concerning conferences. You should have received both an email with a general overview and a separate, section-specific signup for each of your students. If you have not received these communications, please reach out to Mrs. Kimpel (lkimpel@glendaleprep.org). Conferences will be held in person this year, not via Zoom. Finally, please note that many of our teachers teach multiple subjects and grades; due to the complexities of scheduling around these obligations, it is not possible to schedule alternate times for conferences outside of the section-specific slots.
