EPIC Campus Conferences

Parents have asked about conferences at EPIC. Our conference format for the year looks differently than that of the home high schools.

Our first round of conferences were held on Monday, September 8, and they followed the traditional format. Our next round of conferences, which we refer to as EPIC Family Night - What’s Next? is Monday, November 3 from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. During this time you will hear about the various courses within the pathway as well as possible post-secondary opportunities. These opportunities could include joining the workforce, entering the military or attending college or trade school. More information to come as we get closer to that date. Our final round of conferences which we refer to as EPIC Family Night - What I’ve Learned will be held in March where EPIC students will explain the projects and learning they have

engaged in this year. This will be a student-led “Show and Tell” event, allowing students to showcase for parents what they have been doing this year.

Parents are encouraged to connect with EPIC Campus instructors and/or counselors through email whenever necessary to address concerns about a student’s learning and growth.
