Parent Teacher Conferences

For many parents, this will be their first parent/teacher conference.  If you are one of those parents don't worry!  We are in this together to help build a strong foundation for a life time of learning.  The goal of conferences is to plan together how to best meet any needs that your child has or will have.  YOU are your child's first and most important teacher which makes you and your opinion critical in the conference process.


Care will be offered on 11/21/17 and 11/22/17 for those who need it.  Please see yellow folder for details.  Limited to the first 12 students.
Cookie dough & tumblers orders are due on 11/10/17. Wreath orders are due 11/6/17.
Proceeds go toward our teacher scholarship fund and towards purchasing items for our Sensory Room.

We invite relatives or friends of the deceased to come forward and place a piece of incense on the lighted coals.
