Hi Crestwood families!

You are invited to participate in our Fall Family Conferences on 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 aim 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.

Crestwood Conference Nights will be held on the following dates:

• Wednesday, November 6 - 4:00 - 7:00

Volunteers are welcome to sign up for more than one date and time!
