School Calendar
For upcoming important dates please see the school calendar.
Parent Teacher Interviews are scheduled for March 19 & 20 from 4:30-7:30 pm. We will continue with our new structure for our Parent-Teacher Conferences to ensure that teachers can meet with the parents they need to connect with regarding their child's progress. With teachers responsible for up to 180 students, this new format allows us to focus on meaningful discussions. Each interview will be scheduled for 15 minutes in person or over the phone, depending on your preference.
● Wednesday evening and the first part of Thursday evening will be dedicated to scheduled appointments for parents the teacher feels they need to meet with. The teacher will send the booking link and code to those families.
● For parents who want to touch base or meet their child's teacher, we offer a drop-in session during the last 1.5 hours on Thursday (6:00–7:30 PM). Please note that if a teacher does not request an appointment, it is a sign that your child is doing well. We understand that some parents may feel hesitant not to book a meeting, but we encourage you to trust that the teacher will reach out if there are concerns. This new structure ensures that parents of students who require more detailed discussions will have the time they need. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to make this process as meaningful and effective as possible.
● We will send the link out with the remaining available time slots on Wednesday March 12 to all families who wish to meet with their child's teacher.
