The Indianapolis Star
A steady decline in attendance at parent-teacher conferences and an increase in online access for parents to monitor their children's progress has led the district to cancel spring parent-teacher conferences for Grades 7-12.
No other public school district in Hamilton County offers spring parent-teacher conferences above the elementary grades, and some don't offer conferences in those grades, either.
"Our teachers association surveyed NHS teachers last year, and the overwhelming opinion was that dismissing school early on two days for spring parent-teacher conferences was not a good use of time that would otherwise be spent in class," high school principal Annetta Petty wrote in an e-mail.
