 Trimester Two Parent/Teacher Conferences

Thursday, January 24, 2019 4-7 PM

On behalf of the Faculty and Staff of Seaholm High School, I am pleased to invite you to participate in our second Trimester Parent-Teacher Conferences.

If you need assistance accessing the Power School Parent Portal, please contact Mrs. Balow at 248-203-3751 or by email at CBalow@birmingham.k12.mi.us

We ask from parents the following:

1.     Check the on-line grades and attendance prior to coming to conferences.

2.     Discuss the upcoming conferences with your son/daughter and see if there are any particular topics which he/she would like to have you discuss with a faculty member, or whether an email would be appropriate.

3.     Bring the names of your student's teachers and the subjects they teach.  Students do not attend.

4.     Feel free to write down discussion questions ahead of time and take notes during the conference to share with your son/daughter.

5.     Limit your conversation with a teacher to three to five minutes--shorter if possible if there is a line of people waiting.  If a lengthy conference is necessary, the teachers will be pleased to set up a subsequent appointment.

Teachers may require a short break in the midst of conferences.  You may be asked to wait a few minutes for their return. Thank you for your understanding.

Thursday, January 24, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm

STUDENT SCHEDULING - WEEK OF JANUARY 21

 We encourage students to consider the homework commitment for each course and their personal commitments such as work and sport(s) when choosing courses. 

It is important to note, course selections by our students determine much of our teacher assignments and budget decision each year.  It is for these reasons we wish to stress to our students and their parents the necessity to be thoughtful when selecting courses. 

 eFunds for Schools 

How do to I pay for any fees that I may need to pay?

 This is a separate program from the Infosnap registration system and will require a separate login and password.

You will need your student(s) id number(s) to link to your children’s names and fee options. Id number(s) can be found on your student’s id card and/or report card. Another source is when you are completing the on-line registration.

 To create an account or to login to an existing account, visit: https://payments.efundsforschools.com/v3/districts/56264. Once on the eFunds for Schools homepage, the links for to “Create An Account” or to “Login” are half way down on the left. Please print your eFunds receipt and have your student bring to registration on August 21, 22 or late registration.

 Will there be fees associated with using e-Funds?

 There is a small convenience fee associated with each payment: $1.00 for using your checking/savings account information (direct ACH), and $2.65 (per $100) for using your credit/debit card.

Your student will need to bring the efunds receipt with them to registration.

 INTERESTED IN SHADOWING AT SEAHOLM?

We invite you to schedule a shadow visit to Seaholm. Shadows are recommended for students who are NEW TO THE AREA or coming to Seaholm from a private or parochial school. We allow teachers 48 hour notice that they will be hosting a shadow student in their classroom. Please remember that this is an academic day at Seaholm and we are limited to the number of guest students allowed in the building.  If you are interested in shadowing, please call 248.203.3725 and leave message as to the grade, name of shadow, and school current attending.

Enews Emails

For the past couple of years we have been using the email addresses from Power School as our source for sending enews and other important class communications electronically.  If your student graduates, advances from middle to high school, their information will get updated along with their student records.  If you “opt out”, you will not get any communications to that email address for any of your children throughout the district, even if you attempt to register to the enews system. 

If you have "opted out" of receiving enews, please email jstephenson@birmingham.k12.mi.us indicating that you would like to be reinstated on Blackboard Connect.  Thank you!
