This is due to the recent schedule interruptions and missed days of instruction. We will certainly let everyone know as soon as new dates are agreed upon by faculty. 

All high schools will reschedule Parent-Teacher Conferences originally scheduled for Thursday, January 30, 2014. This is a time consistent among the comprehensive high schools. We will resume scheduling and announcements about Parent-Teacher Conferences as soon as a new date is determined. 

As always, I appreciate your attention to the updates. Thank you for your time and cooperation in CHS efforts. If you have questions or a need for more information, feel free to contact the school at (919)918-2200. It remains a great time to be a Carrboro Jaguar!
