Single-session schools have four three-hour evening conferences a year in September (back to school), November, March and May and two two-hour afternoon conferences a year in November and March. Multisession, District 75 and District 79 schools have two 2.5-hour evening parent-teacher conferences and two two-hour afternoon parent-teacher conference dates in November and March.
