Buffalo Weekly

Spring 2024 Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTC) are scheduled for Friday, April 12 from 09:00-17:00.

At PTC, parents are invited to meet with their child’s teachers to discuss student progress and goals. The time is planned to be reflective and action-oriented. Conferences can be an important part in the education process, giving parents time to ask questions and to work together with teachers.

Updated guidelines:

• ECC students are required to attend the meeting with their parents.
• Grade 1-5 students are not required to attend with their parents, although parents are welcome to bring them if they choose to.
• Secondary students are required to attend the meeting with their parents.

Note:

• PTC is a day off of school for all students.
• If you are not able to get the appointment time you need with your child's teacher, please email them separately to schedule a time to meet.
• If you would like to book an appointment with a staff member who is not on your booking list, please email the school office at wyisoffice@wyischina.com.

If you have any questions, please email our main office at wyisoffice@wyischina.com.

2024春季家长会将于4月12日（星期五）上午9点至下午5点进行。
