Please note you do not need to check into the office. Our doors have automatic schedules and will automatically click open for you at 3:55 pm on Monday and Tuesday of conferences.
The dates are set for conferences. Staff is not able to coordinate conferences outside of the established dates and times.
Starting Friday, September 27th, follow these steps to sign up for your conference times:

Halloween Costumes
Students are already talking about costumes they are dreaming of wearing for Halloween on Thursday, October 31st. Stay tuned for details about the day.
As students think about creating, making, or getting costumes, please make sure to help your student keep it "Primary Appropriate." We want Halloween to be fun, not scary. Here are some guidelines we're asking everybody to follow:
No weapons of any kind should be brought to school- even fake weapons that are accessories to a costume.
No face paint or hair coloring spray- the custodians will already have a monumental cleaning task after the kids head home.
No gore: Blood guts, etc.
Students wearing costumes that do not follow the items listed above will need to change out of their costume. Thank you for helping us keep this a fun, not scary event at school.
