Kyle Polson With parent teacher conferences coming up, many are wondering whether or not they are still beneficial. For a few years now, Audubon High has been using a website known to many as JMC. This site has made grades easily accessible for students and parents. Yet, Audubon still requires a meeting between parents and their child’s adviser to discuss grades and more. Some think that this may become a thing of the past.
Mr. Riebhoff, an adviser, says he’s having a bit of trouble this year since his advisory is a group of freshman. “I don’t know them yet, so I’m getting to know their interests.” When asked how conferences help he responded with, “Communicating with parents one to one really helps. I’m not a man who likes indirect contact like through email.” Riebhoff really sees himself as someone his advisees can go to for troubles with school and other students. “I really want to give them skills that they will need. My motto is: learn as much as you can; you don’t know where you can use it.”
Kyle Polson, a freshman at Audubon, is having his first high school parent-teacher conference, but he has his share of experience from years past. When asked how conferences have helped him as he’s gone through elementary and junior high school, he responded with “They help me get my rear in gear and get my grades up.”
Polson really appreciates having an adult who’s gone through high school and college to talk to. “Having my parents there really helps enforce what he [adviser] says.” While Polson said conferences are very beneficial, he says there is one thing that can improve them. Food. Polson said, “It’s fun and comforting [at conferences].”
