Parent-Teacher Conferences March 16 Offered Only By Email or Phone
Jefferson Parish Schools is taking additional precautions in response to the first presumptive positive case of coronavirus in Louisiana.
Jefferson Parish Schools will no longer hold in-person parent-teacher conferences on March 16. Instead, the district is encouraging families to communicate with their child’s teacher through email or phone. Families may email questions or concerns to their child’s teacher at any time. Conferences on March 16 will be conducted by email or phone.
Teacher emails can be found on school websites or by calling the schools. For school web addresses or contact information, visit jpschools.org/schools. March 16 will still be a student holiday. Parent-teacher conferences and teacher professional development times will remain the same. Those times are:
Elementary and K-8 Schools
- Teacher PD: 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
- Parent-Teacher Conferences: 4-7 p.m.
Middle and High Schools
- Teacher PD: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
- Parent-Teacher Conferences: 1-4 p.m.
The change to parent-teacher conferences is one of the additional measures the district is taking. In-state and local field trips are being postponed until further notice. The district is also postponing large scale assemblies until further notice. Schools will communicate to families about the status of upcoming events.
On March 2, JP Schools released guidance to schools that limited new out-of-state travel and all large scale non-essential assemblies. To learn more about the preventative measures the district is taking, visit jpschools.org/health.
The U.S. government shared guidance with schools recently encouraging schools to consider rearranging large activities and gatherings.
