Parent-Teacher Conferences
Hillcrest Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Tuesday, September 22nd, and Tuesday, September 23rd. This is a great opportunity to discuss your student’s grades and classroom behavior with their teacher.
- Tuesday (Sept 22) will be virtual conferences from 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Teachers will send out their appointment sign-up links and conference join links on ParentSquare. Spanish interpreters will be available virtually to join appointments. Please let the teacher know you will be needing an interpreter.
- Wednesday (Sept 23) will be in-person conferences (3:30 pm- 7:00 pm). Teachers will be available in their rooms to meet with parents; no appointments are needed. A Spanish interpreter will be available on each floor to assist.
For all other language needs, please contact elena.reyes@canyonsdistrict.org
During parent-teacher conferences, we will also have flu vaccines available on both days. No appointment is needed. If you are insured, please bring your insurance card. Reduced-cost and no-cost flu vaccines will be available to uninsured individuals and families who are unable to pay.
