Christina Powers, Secondary School Principal

We look forward to seeing you at Parent-Teacher Conferences.

We encourage and welcome students to participate in Parent-Teacher Conferences. Conferences are an excellent opportunity to share insights and potential needs or solutions that can be used to enhance your child’s learning. 

Although we prefer to see you all on campus, having virtual conferences can be convenient, efficient, and effective. Running virtual conferences eliminates the issues we have around parking and traffic, not to mention travel time. We hope that this conference’s remote nature combined with the software we are using allows for a relaxed and comfortable meeting. 

Research shows that parent-teacher conferences benefit student’s learning. The strong relationship between parents and teachers can make a big difference in the lives of students. Please take this opportunity to exchange insights into a child’s learning. The partnership between parents and teachers is highly valued at ISY. 

Directions for Scheduling Conferences:

  • Please see the instructions link – Conferences will be booked through PowerSchool.
  • We welcome and encourage student participation
  • All conferences are 8 minutes in length allowing parents time to transition between meetings.

Our Chinthe Learning Online (CLO) teachers will not use this sign up system. They will instead reach out to CLO families directly to offer a time to meet.

If you have questions, please contact the secondary office at secondaryoffice@isyedu.org.
