Minnewaska Area Schools invites all parents and guardians to the upcoming Fall Conferences. 

These conferences for grades K-12 will be held on Monday, October 7, from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday, October 16, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The conferences offer a valuable opportunity for families to connect with teachers and stay informed about their student’s academic progress, fostering a strong home-school relationship that supports student success, according to Matt Meagher and David Vinje, Secondary Education Teachers at Minnewaska Area Schools.

Parental involvement plays a critical role in a student’s education. By attending conferences, parents not only show their support for their child’s learning but also help build a strong connection between home and school. Active engagement enhances communication and provides insights into how best to meet a student’s needs, Meagher and Vinje wrote in a news release.

During the conferences, teachers will share important information about each student’s academic performance, strengths, and areas for growth. Parents are encouraged to ask questions, discuss concerns, and gain a better understanding of what is happening in the classroom. This collaboration helps educators tailor strategies to support the student’s success.

Conferences also provide an excellent opportunity to address any academic or social challenges your child may be facing. Early intervention can make a significant difference in resolving issues before they escalate, ensuring a smoother path to success throughout the school year, it was stated.

Additionally, parents and students can use conferences as a time to discuss post-high school goals. Whether it’s college, career plans, or other aspirations, attending conferences allows parents to engage in meaningful conversations with teachers and ensure students are on the right track for their future.

“At Minnewaska Area Schools, we are deeply committed to the success of all our students. We encourage parents and guardians to attend the Fall Conferences and help us continue to provide the best educational experience possible,” it was stated by Meagher and Vinje.
