Vision Screening:
Health services will be conducting a vision screening for all 7th grade students on February 11 and 12. This is a quick screen to assess your child’s distance vision only. If your child does not pass the screen, you will receive a letter recommending they receive an evaluation from an eye doctor.
If you would prefer that your child not participate or have any questions, please contact the District Health Nurse, Elizabeth Feisthammel, at (608) 318-8107 or eafeist@sunprairieschools.org

February Conferences:
Mid-year conferences are approaching on February 27 and 28. For this round of conferences, our core and elective teachers will have a variety of times for you to talk with them. All students are completing a Winter/Mid Year Snapshot to update you of their progress and goals. These will be sent home for all students regardless of what style of conference you choose.
Thursday: House teacher teams (Literacy, Math, Science/Social Studies) will be reaching out to schedule conferences for students from 4-7:00 on Thursday evening. You may drop in to visit the house teachers between 7:00-8:00 pm. Elective teachers will be available for drop in visits between 4:30-8 p.m.
Friday: House teacher teams will be reaching out to schedule conferences for students from 7:30-10:30 am. You may drop in to visit the house teachers between 10:30-11:30 am. Elective teachers will be available for drop in visits between 7:30-11:30 am.
Remember that you can reach out to your student’s teachers at any time and you do not need to wait for conferences. We love hearing from you and partnering with you!
