Parent-Teacher Conferences are next week, and there is still time to sign up!

Families can schedule conferences not only with their child’s classroom teacher but also with their specialist teachers --  including Art, Music, Media, PE, Band and Strings, World Language, and STEM.  We also encourage our families to sign up to meet with any of their children's special education providers as well as members of our counseling team.

Conferences are such a valuable opportunity to strengthen home–school communication and to talk together about your child’s successes this year, as well as areas for continued growth as we head into the spring months. If you prefer to meet virtually, you may request a Google Meet link by contacting the teacher directly after scheduling your conference through My Conference Time.

Please remember that students will have a modified early dismissal at 1:15 p.m. on March 17th, 18th, and 19th to accommodate conferences.

Conference Times are: 

Tuesday, March 17th 5:30-8:00pm 

Wednesday, March 18th  1:45-3:45 p.m. 

Thursday, March 19th  1:45-3:45 p.m.

Conference sign-ups will remain open through Monday, March 16th at 12:00 p.m. on our school website or directly through MyConferenceTime.  

Looking forward to seeing you next week,

Mrs. Gail Krois
