On Thursday Oct. 11 and Friday Oct. 12, the annual parent – teacher conferences will take place.
As of the 2024 – 2025 school year, there will no longer be spring conferences.
“Some teachers in the secondary level had petitioned our superintendent and said, ‘hey, why aren’t we off the Wednesday before Thanksgiving like elementary?’” Altoona Area Education Association President Jason Geis said. “The reason was because of how it played out in the contract. So, we voted to adjust the contract and work more hours now Thursday and Friday in the fall.”
On Thursday, conferences will run from 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. On Friday, conferences will be from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
