Hero Happenings!

1. Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences are Monday & Tuesday night. We will start conferencing at 3:45pm.
   • Please wait to come in the building until 3:40pm. This will allow us to get our walkers/car-riders and first round of busses out of the building.
   • Students should bring their Chromebooks to conferences so you can all review current grades together.
2. Conference appointments are for 15 minutes. You will conference with a teacher on your child's team. If you need to have a longer conversation with a teacher, OR if you need to talk with a SPECIFIC teacher, please reach out to that teacher to schedule a meeting for a different time.
3. If you have medical notes, this is a great time to bring them and we will update your student's attendance information.
4. There will be an optional GT parent meeting at 6pm on both nights of conferences. The meeting will be in room 201.

• September is PTO Sponsorship Drive! This is PTO’s ONLY fundraiser of the year. We need to raise $15,000 to fund all projects for the year, including replacing three basketball goals. Sponsorships are available at $10, $25, $50, and $100. There are incentives for participation!
  

Each child who participates will receive a free treat at our first Hero Hangout.

Each advisory class that raises $250 will get early access to the Hero Hangout.

The pod in each grade that raises the most money will get an extra social time!
