The purpose of this survey is to help us evaluate the success of the hybrid conference model. Responses are voluntary and anonymous. https://forms.gle/QztKGWjdGWc9KNhw7 For our parent-teacher conferences on February 2, 2023, we utilized a hybrid schedule where half of the conference time was virtual and half of the conference time was in-person. From 3:30 to 5:30 pm, our conferences were virtual. During this time, teachers reached out via phone if they had any academic concerns about a student. They were also available to answer parent emails and call if a parent requested contact. From 5:30 to 7:30 pm, our doors were open for traditional, in-person conferences. Any parent was welcome to join us and visit with their child's teachers.

BMS Parent/Teacher conferences will be held this evening- Thursday, Feb. 2. Between 3:30-5:30, the building will be closed.

Benton Middle School will be holding Parent / Teacher conferences February 2 from 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm. The format for Spring Conferences will be different from the Fall. We still want to provide as much access to teachers as possible while meeting the needs of all students and their families. In order to accomplish this, we will be utilizing various communication mediums in addition to face-to-face conferences.
