Hello Cheiftain families,
Last
Friday, November 6, 2015 ended the Quarter 1 marking period. As of Tuesday, November 10, 2015, your
student’s grades, attendance and citizenship have been updated in Power School
and are now available for you to view.
Next week, you will have an opportunity to discuss those grades and your
student’s progress with their teachers at Parent Teacher Conferences.
Fall
Parent-Teacher Conferences at Utica High School are scheduled for:
·
Wednesday, November 18th 4:30 p.m. –
7:30 p.m.
·
Thursday, November 19th
12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
·
Thursday, November 19th
4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Conferences
will be held in the gymnasium and the cafeteria. Teachers will be seated in
alphabetical order.
Parents should access or
print their student’s Quarter 1 grades from Power School prior to conferences. You
should discuss your students Quarter 1 (Q1) grade and citizenship with him/her
prior to attending conferences. This will allow questions at conference to be
more focused on moving your child’s learning forward, and capitalizing on
successes while focusing on areas of challenge.
On Power School you can see your student’s grades, attendance, and delve
into why the grade s are where they are including missing and incomplete work,
test scores, etc.
You
can access the parent portal at https://ps.ucs.misd.net/public
and if you need to register for Power School, you can find that information at http://uticak12.org/parentportalinfo/
and can register at school during regular hours of operation.
Along
with our teachers, I look forward to these conferences because it gives all of
us an opportunity to discuss something very important – your student’s
educational progress. Direct
communication between the parent and teacher is an important part of your
student’s success. This is the time when
you can meet face-to-face with your student’s teachers to learn of their achievements,
as well as areas needing improvement. At
these sessions, you can share information about your student that will assist
the teachers. No one knows your student
better than you, and your expertise is valued.
In order to make sure that
parents have an opportunity to meet with all of their student’s teachers, please
limit your conference to five minutes. If
you need additional meeting time with a teacher, please feel free to make an
appointment.
Thank
you for your continued interest in your student’s educational experience at Utica High
School
Tom
