Parent Conferences
I completed "Beginning of the Year" assessments and look forward to sharing the results with you! Parent Conference Week begins October 3. I will be offering times throughout the week and all day on Friday, October 7.
I attached a Google Sign Up sheet with both virtual and in-person time slots. I would love to meet with you in person if at all possible. Visiting with parents helps to build relationships within our school community! That being said, I know you all have very busy schedules and may prefer to meet via Zoom. Click the link to sign up for a convenient time.
