Mar. 5 & 6 (Mon. & Tues.) - Parent/Teacher Conferences
Our Parent/Teacher Conferences are coming up soon on Monday, March 5 and Tuesday, March 6. Please make every attempt to schedule a time with your child's teacher.
There are no classes for the students on these days, so please make all the necessary arrangements.
Also please note, the pink sheet that was handed out in August at the beginning of school stated the spring conference dates incorrectly. The correct dates are March 5 and March 6.
