Kayhi hosted parent-teacher conferences Monday and Tuesday. Two hundred and seventy-nine students were represented ora a total of 49% of the student body – down from 344 last year.
Principal Bob Marshall said the decrease might be a product of the grading program that allows students and parents to view grades from home.
“The system we use is kind of inadequate,” said Marshall. “You can access everything so people wonder why you need to wait in line and show up when you can just look online and find the one teacher you have a question for.”
Overall, Marshall said he was pretty happy about the turnout.
“A lot of good things happening out there,” said Marshall. “The teachers were really trying to keep positive.”
