What's a 'Semester Conference'?

This post was last updated on:

As we mentioned in our welcome message, all students are required to talk to one of the Biology teachers at least once during the semester.

"How do I know if I still need to complete my Semester Conference?"

Look at the top of your gradebook in Biology. If the Semester Conference item says grade or 0, then you need to complete it. If you aren't sure, just send one of us a quick message in WebMail.

To complete your Semester Conference, book a meeting to meet with any of the Biology teachers.


More Info about the Semester Conference

If we ask you to sign up for a Semester Conference, this means we haven't had a chance to speak with you 1 on 1 yet this semester.

In a Semester Conference, you might work with a Biology teacher to make quiz corrections, get help with a portfolio, work on a short activity, or just chat about what we have learned about this semester.

In Biology class, a Semester Conference is just between teachers and students. There's no requirement for parents or caretakers. Of course, if your parent or caretaker would like to speak with us, they are always welcome to.

Please book a meeting now if you need to complete your Semester Conference. You can choose any of the Biology teachers!
