Parent Teacher Conferences

Dear sophomore parents/guardians:

I am sure most of you are aware that parent/teacher conferences are taking place next week on Tuesday, October 21 and Wednesday, October 22. This is a great opportunity for you to meet your child’s teachers and discuss his/her progress so far in the school year. On Tuesday night, you will find the teachers in their classrooms, and on Wednesday night, all teachers will be in the high school cafeteria.

Due to a night class, I will be unavailable for conferences on Wednesday, October 22. If you are planning to attend Wednesday evening, I will have a sign up sheet on a table in the cafeteria in which you may write your name and contact information if you would like for me to contact you. I apologize for this inconvenience. If you are unable to attend conferences next week, please feel free to email me at kpruitt@girard248.org or call the school at (620) 724-4326. I look forward to speaking with you.

Thank you,




Kayla Pruitt
English II Teacher
Girard High School
