Shore Families,
We will hold two nights of Parent/Guardian - Teacher Conferences this Fall on Tuesday, October 10 and Thursday, October 19 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Fall conferences will only be conducted via in-person format this year. We will continue to schedule our conferences using PTCFast, an online scheduling service.

I am a strong advocate of putting students in the driver’s seat of their own education. Education is a partnership between; student, teacher and parent(s). At Shore we want our students to take responsibility for their learning and academic performance. Families are encouraged to have their child be an active participant in the conference process.
Length of Conference
- 8th Grade Teachers and Elective Teachers
- Conferences will be 5 minutes.
- 6th and 7th Grade Teams will be Holding TEAM Conferences
- Conferences will be 10 minute in length
- Students and families will have the opportunity to talk to your child(s) English, Math, Science and Social Studies teacher during the scheduled TEAM conference in one sitting.
A printable schedule will be emailed to you immediately after you submit your requests with each teacher’s location in the building. Please schedule your conference times to allow for transition time in the building. It is suggested that you don’t schedule back to back conferences. A typical conference schedule may look like this: English 5:00 PM - 5:05 PM, Math 5:16 PM - 5:21 PM, Science 5:40 PM - 5:48 PM, etc. It is imperative that you arrive on-time and keep to the allotted conference timeframe. This process will alleviate the waiting in lines and should allow for a more valuable conversation with your child’s teacher. Conferences do NOT need to be scheduled with your child’s Advisory teacher.
There will not be “walk-up” conferences, so please schedule your conference as soon as possible or call the main office for assistance. We look forward to seeing you at Parent/Guardian - Teacher Conferences.
Sincerely,
Tommy Dwyer
Principal
