Parent Teacher Conferences Parent Teacher Conferences

With term 1 closing on November 3rd, and grades becoming available in the late afternoon on November 13th, it is a perfect time in November for Parent-Teacher Conferences. On Thursday, November 2nd, Rockland High School faculty will host Parent-Teacher Conferences from 12:30-2:30 PM and 6:30-8:00 PM.


Please register (in advance) for conferences by clicking on this link. It does not matter what time you show up for the conference; registering allows staff to prepare for the conference adequately. If you could register by Thursday, October 26th that would be great.

Please print off your child’s schedule and visit your child’s classrooms during these time windows. Similar to prior years, there are no pre-scheduled appointments during these time windows, so please drop by and see your child’s teachers as you would like.
