Parent-Teacher Conferences are October 26!

At Gallup-McKinley County Schools, we believe families play an important role in student success. Our student-led conferences give students an opportunity to take an active role in sharing their learning, accomplishments and goals with their families and teachers. Your involvement matters! Working together, students, families and educators can build the support and encouragement students need to thrive.

Contact your student’s school for conference details and scheduling information.

When we work together, our students go further!
