COMING UP
SIGN UP NOW: Parent-Teacher Conf Week 11/27-12/1
Please sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences! 

Note that school will end at 12:50 pm each day during conference week (Nov 27- Dec 1) and our after school programs will begin at 12:50 pm.

Conferences are important opportunities to check-in with your child's teacher(s) to see how they're doing, so I encourage everyone to sign up for a slot. 

Each teacher handles their own classroom sign-ups and makes every effort to provide a range of time-slots to accommodate families. Check with your teachers for more information.
