NortherBen: Those snow days can really mess things up can't they. My DD just want back to college right before the storms and has missed a lot of school making the semester a bit anti-climatic. I'm glad to hear your son gets to participate in the play, I think that is wonderful and a good confidence booster. Although I know how much time school plays can take up, and it can be tricky to fit in homework around.
The conference we have next week isn't to sign up for classes, that won't happen till at least May. It's to 'plan' for the future, get an idea of the direction for the student for the next two years and beyond. Parents are encouraged to come to this meeting but not required. After this unless there is a problem the kids are on their own.
