Outward Bound | 910 Jackson St, Golden CO | OB High School Alumni Project About Conference Night… Parent/Teacher Conferences occur at every high school twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. It is an after-school opportunity for parents to roam the halls (with or without their child) and meet teachers and coaches. The conferences last 2-4 hours on a week night. On conference night, the high school pulls out tables, setting them all along the primary hallways. These tables are used by clubs and organizations to provide information, as the parents and students roam on conference night. There are all kinds of organizations there to reach out to parents.

Outward Bound | 910 Jackson St, Golden CO | OB High School Alumni Project How is Outward Bound involved? Outward Bound has registered a table at the conference night where you can showcase Outward Bound material and answer questions from visiting parents and students. The table is set aside by the high school when you arrive. All you need to do is show up at your high school on conference night, check in, and locate your table. It’s that easy.

The exact location will vary by school but are easy to locate. Depending on the school there will be anywhere from tables.

Outward Bound | 910 Jackson St, Golden CO | OB High School Alumni Project Who will I be working with? You will not be working alone! You will be joined by an Outward Bound staff member and they will be touching base with you both before the high school night to make sure you are coordinated to meet them there and are ready to promote OB to some awesome kids and parents. Our staff member will bring all the necessary materials for the evening: Outward Bound catalogs, cards and other printed materials An Outward Bound T-shirt you can wear—and KEEP!

Outward Bound | 910 Jackson St, Golden CO | OB High School Alumni Project How long do I stay? The conferences generally last a few hours at each high school. Stay as long as you like! If you see the crowd dying down or if you get tired, just gather the remaining material and leave. There is no check-out process. How does it work when I arrive? It’s very simple. Once coordinated with your staff member, you will both arrive at the start of the Parent Teacher Conference night (this varies by school, please see our calendar on the next slide). Wear your OB Tee, lay out our printed material, and check in with the high school to locate the table they have set aside for “Outward Bound.” After you check in, you’re ready to go! Just answer questions from parents and kids who stop by the table!
