Parent- Teacher Conferences
Please come and meet you children’s teachers on Monday and Wednesday, October 26th and 28th. Studies show that when parents are involved in their children’s education, grades improve. Teachers also want to share good news about your children. Times are from 4:00 to 7:00 both days.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Tutoring is available in all subject areas. Please, if your child received a progress report or is struggling in a class, insist that they stay for tutoring, It is available Tuesday through Friday. Please contact the teacher to sign them up. If they ride the bus to school, it will bring them home at the end [4:50]
We want your children to excel at Stout, please take advantage of this service.
