•Each conference will last ten minutes. If you find that you need more time to discuss your child with any of their teachers, additional time can be arranged with individual teachers, at a later date.
•Our school is using PTCFast.com to make sign-ups for Parent Teacher Conferences as convenient as possible. Please enter the following web address into your browser window: https://ptcfast.com/schools/Gardiner_Area_High_School
•NEW! Childcare will be available during parent-teacher conferences thanks to high school students and GAHS librarian, Katy Jones. There will be story time, coloring, Legos, snacks, and more! Please reach out to Katy Jones at kjones@msad11.org with any questions.
•In addition to conferences, there will be a Senior Parent Information Night at 6pm in the GAHS ATM room, hosted by the Counseling Office. This meeting is for anyone who has a student who is considering attending a two—or four-year college after high school.
Not the First. The 27th.
There are currently 20 State funded School Based Health Centers and 6 others that are open that do not get State grant funding.
The community proposed School Based Health Center would be the 27th opened in the State of Maine.
At our Community Engagement Forum, we will hear from one of the 26 about how they operate and how it has impacted their students and their families.
Join us for the conversation.
