From the Principal - Conference Week
Dear Families,
Conferences next week are a time where students, parents and teachers have the opportunity to celebrate the growth that has been made so far this year and sets goals around areas of improvement. It is important that your student attends these conferences and are part of these conversations. As you attend next week, please make sure you enter for your conference through the exterior doors. After your conference, please make time to visit your student's specialists teacher as well as a visit to the library to see what's available at the book fair.
Just a reminder that during conference week, school will be dismissed at 12:10 each day. Students will be receiving lunch to eat at school each of these days. If you have any questions about your student's schedule next week, please reach out the teacher,
Thank you,
