Needs-based parent-teacher conferences



Since we've planned to meet with each parent and their student during the student-led conferences in May, our March conferences have a very limited number of spots. If you need to speak with the 8th grade team as a whole group before the May conference dates, we can send you a conference invitation.  If you do not have any pressing concerns, we are looking forward to seeing you at student-led conferences in May!   To receive a March conference invitation, please email Doug Haskins, dhaskins@avonworth.k12.pa.us.
