PAHS Parent-Teacher Conferences - 2025
PAHS will hold Parent-Teacher Conferences on Monday, November 24, 2025, from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM and Tuesday, November 25, 2025, from 4:30 PM to 7 PM.
***Please note that both conference days will be walk-in appointments only. You will be able to meet with teachers on a first-come, first-serve basis. Scheduled appointments will not take place.
I encourage everyone to attend, as parental/family engagement is critical to positive student achievement and overall school social-emotional learning.
Please keep in mind the following guidelines to ensure a positive/productive visit to our school:
Please enter/exit the building through the main entrance only.
Upon entering the building, all parents and visitors are required to empty their pockets and have any bags, purses, etc. scanned through the X-ray machines.
Also, all parents and visitors will be required to pass through the metal detectors to ensure no contraband remains in their pockets.
Once you pass through the X-ray machines and metal detections, you must sign in.
After signing in, you can move about the school as you wish. Staff and students will be on hand to assist.
Please try to limit your conferences to 15 minutes (depending on the line). If necessary, we will be happy to set up a follow-up email or phone call.
Any questions/concerns please feel free to call us (570-654-2415) or email us at:
