Please watch your child's classroom newsletter for information about upcoming parent-teacher conferences. We would like every student to have a conference completed by their parent this winter. Most teachers will hold conferences on February 27 and 29, but some will be scheduled at other times. Additionally some teachers will be running student led conferences and the student will need to attend the conference. Please take advantage of this conference time to help build a stronger partnership between home and school for the benefit of providing your child the best education possible. Elective (specials) teachers will be available for drop in conferences on those evenings.

We have cancelled this event due to light participation and lack of winter weather.

Parents of current 5th grade students are requested to attend the middle school open house held on March 5 at 6:30pm. This meeting is also open to anyone who is interested in learning about enrollment in grade 6, 7, or 8 for the 2022-23 school year.

Sign up for this great family event for students in k-5. Families will have dinner and then participate in three different unique science activities! Space is limited. Please note this event is free for families because of your generous support of P.I.E. Sign up at this LINK.
