Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
It is time for 2025 Fall Conferences! We will offer conferences remotely via ZOOM this year; however, if you prefer to have an in-person conference with your child’s teacher, you can reach out directly to the teacher, and they will schedule an in-person conference on October 15th between 2:00-3:00 PM. RHS families will have the opportunity to meet with students’ teachers, counselors, and social workers. Families will log into Skyward Family Access, click on their student’s schedule, and choose the teachers, counselors, and social workers they would like to meet with. Step-by-step instructions are at the end of this letter. Here is the date and time of conferences:
Tuesday, October 14, 2025
1:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Registration for conferences will open starting September 22nd and will close at 3:00 PM on October 9th. Once registration closes, you must contact the teacher directly to schedule a conference. You will receive an email from your scheduled teacher with their Zoom link on October 10th by 3PM.
Current student grades will be accessible via our online student information system, Skyward. Please log into Skyward in advance of your conference to review and/or print your student’s grades.
We highly encourage students to participate in the conferences with their parents/guardians and to be an active part of the discussion about their academic progress. If, for any reason, you cannot make an appointment during these times, please reach out directly to our staff. Our teachers, counselors, and social workers would be happy to meet with you at a time that works for you. We look forward to talking with you and your student(s) at conferences.
In addition to teacher conferences, we are excited to offer special sessions to support our students and families planning for college.:
-
Making the Most of High School (Grades 7–11)
During the teacher break time on conference night, we will host a session from 5:10–5:50 PM at the high school on how to make the most of your four years in high school, not only to prepare for admission to colleges but also to ensure long-term success. This is a great opportunity for parents to bring their students, especially those in grades 7–12. The earlier students begin preparing and planning, the more options they will have in the future.

-
Selective Enrollment Colleges Information Session
On Thursday, September 25th, during flex, we will host a session focused on what students need to do to prepare for admission to selective enrollment colleges. If you would like to attend this session, please complete the same conference registration Google Form so we can plan accordingly.
We want to support all of our students in pursuing whichever college and career pathway they choose.
Questions regarding Fall Conferences can be directed to the Division Head of Student Services, Katie Davis, at kdavis@ridgenet.org.
