| KIPPster Support Conferences | 
Our theme for the second half of our school year is KEEPING IT 100. In KEEPING IT 100, we want to make sure that all of our scholars are off to a great start at
finishing strong for the second half of the school year. It is critical that you are fully aware of where your scholar stands academically so that we can continue to work together for the best academic success of our KIPPsters.
It is time to schedule your scholar's KIPPster Support Conference. You are able to sign-up for a conference as you pick-up your scholar's report card. CONFERENCES ARE MANDATORY FOR SCHOLARS WHO FAILED 2 OR MORE SUBJECTS FOR QUARTER 1 OR QUARTER 2. Conferences will be held on January 19th and January 21st between 4:30-6:00pm. All teachers will be available during this time and look forward to meeting with parents. Please sign up by clicking on the link listed below to secure a time to meet with your child(s) teachers.
**NOTE- Please sign in the conference link with your scholar's name.
