Family - Teacher Conference Information

Dressel Families,

You are invited to participate in our Fall Family Conferences from November 6-7. Conferences will be held in-person. This is a time for you, the classroom teacher, and other support staff to discuss your child's academic growth, social/emotional needs, and other celebrations or needs. We look for 100% participation from our community and encourage you to work with your child's teacher to schedule a time to reflect on the 1st trimester together.

Dressel's Conference Nights will be held on the following dates:

Wednesday, November 6 - 4:00 - 7:00
Thursday, November 7 - 4:00 - 7:00

Below, you will find links to your child's classroom teacher, along with other support staff. Each teacher has one time slot available per student. We kindly ask that no matter how your family looks, each student has one time slot. This is important so all caretakers can hear and discuss topics together.

We look forward to a great Family Conference season!

Head Lice Screening Reminder

Head lice are a common problem, especially among school-aged children and their families. Our district is not seeing a rise in cases at this time; however, it is common to see additional cases around Halloween, as people try on costumes and headpieces in stores. As a precaution, we want to provide families with prevention tools and inform you of district practices. Head lice can be a nuisance, but they have not been shown to spread disease. In addition, personal hygiene or cleanliness in the home or school has nothing to do with getting head lice. Please click the link below for additional information.
