Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-teacher conferences are an excellent way to create or build upon a strong home-school partnership that is critical to student success. To help you prepare for a productive meeting with your child's teacher, please view Making ParentTeacher Conferences Work for Your Child, an article available on the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) website.

Parent/Guardian Contact Information

In case of illness, accident or other emergency, the school will attempt to contact a child's parent or guardian. Please make sure the school has current contact information, including home, work, cell phone and pager numbers. In addition, be sure to keep the office informed of any changes in emergency contacts or child care arrangements.

School Information & Flyers

Whenever possible, school and community information is sent home with students on Thursdays with the weekly newsletter, the Birney Buzz. Please check for this information every Thursday.

Facts for Parents

Each student should receive a copy of San Diego Unified School District's Facts for Parents publication. Available in English  and Spanish , this publication:

• Gives basic information about the school district.
• Explains parent rights and responsibilities.
• Provides high school graduation requirements.
• Lists disclosures required by state or federal law.

Please sign the pages in the back and return them to your child's teacher.
