NOTICE: ACT Test Day Nears for 12th-grade scholars
The ACT exam on Tuesday, October 17th, is a crucial moment for our Class of 2024. Success on this test can significantly impact their academic journey and future opportunities. There will be no school for 9th, 10th, and 11th-grade scholars, allowing the Class of 2024 to focus on having success on the ACT. We wish them all the best and believe in their potential for success.
Collaborate for Success: Fuller Collegiate’s Parent-Teacher Conferences
Please plan on attending Fuller Collegiate’s Parent Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, October 18, from 2 to 5 p.m. and Thursday, October, 19, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Teachers and staff will be available to meet with parents and guardians. If you have any specific concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Herd by email at k.herd@hfca.org.
The Parent Teacher Conferences are a wonderful opportunity for parents to discuss their child’s progress and classes and to work with teachers as a team to develop strategies to support their child’s success. Phone calls and SchoolRunner can only provide a partial picture. We believe that face-to-face conversations with all of your child’s teachers on the same day can provide a comprehensive overview of their progress.
If you have any questions regarding the conferences, please feel free to contact our office at (414) 873-4014. We are looking forward to seeing you!
