Almost 100 percent of parents attended parent-teacher conference day at Gravette Upper Elementary. In fact, 99.8 percent of the total student population had parents who were contacted.

Good communicationbetween a parent and the teacher is essential for any child’s success in school. Recent studies document that the more actively involved a parent is in his or her child’s school life, the more the child succeeds.

At Gravette Upper Elementary our goal is tohave parents and teachers who work together as a team to do what is best for the students. We wish to extend a huge “thank you” to all the parents who make this day a success.
