Communication
Teachers and school administration Clear and open communication helps us create the best learning environment for our students. If you ever have questions or concerns, please feel free to connect with your child’s teachers or our school administration team. We truly appreciate your partnership and support in making this year a success for all our students!
Parent Teacher Interviews are scheduled for March 19 and 20. Teachers will first reach out to families where a conversation is most needed. After these meetings are scheduled, parents can sign up for open slots or attend drop-in sessions on Thursday evening between 6:00-7:30. Thank you for your continued partnership in your child’s learning journey!
