Roxana High School Presents Newsies!
Dear Roxana Senior High School Parents,
The faculty and administration of Roxana Senior High School cordially invite you to attend our annual Spring Parent-Teacher Conference which will be held on:
(Spring) Parent-Teacher Conference
Tuesday, March 30, 2021
4:00 – 7:00 p.m.
RHS Campus
The end of the third quarter was Friday, March 19th. Grades are available for viewing on our Skyward Family Web Access.
Parents may choose either in-person or remote (via Google Meet) conferences this evening.
To schedule a conference, please call Trish Talley at (618) 254-7557 no later than 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 24, 2021.
This conference is provided as an opportunity for you to meet with your child’s teachers to discuss their academic and social progress from the third quarter. We encourage all parents to take this opportunity to communicate with the teachers and staff at Roxana High School.
As in the past, there will be brief individual conferences between parents and teachers limited to ten (10) minutes. Your cooperation and patience regarding this matter is greatly appreciated. If you need more than the allotted time, please arrange another conference with the teacher to request an additional appointment at a later date.
Please complete the Parent Survey at the conclusion of your conference so we can continually look at ways to improve and enhance this experience for everyone involved.
Yours in Education,
Jason Dandurand, Ed. S.
Principal
