📢 IMPORTANT: Student-Led Conferences 📢
Tuesday, February 3rd | 4:00-6:00 PM | 📍 Cape Fear Middle School
This is NOT a typical parent-teacher conference. Your student will lead the meeting, presenting their portfolio of work directly to you. They will discuss their academic progress, strengths, challenges, and semester goals.
Student-led conferences give your child ownership of their learning journey—and your attendance shows them their education matters.
We cannot wait for our students to share what they have been learning and the goals they have for the rest of this school year.
