SMS Parent Teacher conference Information

Dear South Middle Families,

We’re excited to host another year of Parent-Teacher Conferences at Fort Zumwalt South Middle School! This year’s conferences will be held in person at South Middle.

📅 Conference Dates and Times:

  • Wednesday, October 29: 5:00–8:00 p.m.

  • Thursday, October 30: 10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.

You can view each teacher’s or team’s specific schedule through the SignUpGenius link below.

Conference Format and Details

*Please note a few important details, including a change for 8th grade due to the unteaming of classes this year:

6th and 7th Grade Teams:

  • Core teachers will meet with parents in pairs (science/math and ELA/social studies).

  • To give every family a chance to meet with team teachers, please schedule only one team appointment for your child.

  • During that conference, you will receive information about all four core classes (ELA, math, science, and social studies).

  • If multiple team appointments are made, one will be removed to ensure all families have access to conference slots.

8th Grade Teachers:

  • Because 8th grade is no longer teamed, core teachers (ELA, math, science, social studies) will meet with parents individually.

  • You may schedule appointments with up to two 8th grade core teachers.

Off-Team Teachers (Electives and Support):

  • Elective, special education, physical education, reading, GATE, and ESOL teachers will also meet with parents individually.

  • You are welcome to schedule additional appointments with these teachers as needed.

If you have any questions or need help signing up, please contact our office and ask for your child’s grade-level office. Thank you for your continued partnership and support in your child’s education. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Thank you for your support,

Jackie Hottelman
