March 1st marks the end of the 2nd trimester. As a reminder March 1st is also a half day of school with dismissal at 12:00 PM. Our teachers are excited to meet with you for parent/teacher conferences the week of March 18th.
Parent/Teacher Conferences - Week of March 18th
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held the week of March 18th. Our teachers are excited for this important opportunity to meet with you to discuss your child’s progress in school.
