Parent - Teacher Conferences Happening this Week

Conferences are happening Monday-Thursday of this week (October 5th-8th) . Please find time to meet with your child's teacher to find out how they are progressing. Parent conferences are an excellent way to ensure that home and school are on the same page with the best way to support our students.
