Conferences are one of the most valuable tools we have to foster our strong partnerships between home and school.

Please keep an eye open for this information. Registration codes and directions will be available to you in the Parent Portal (on the form marked "Student Information for the 2023-24 School Year"), at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, September 27.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? During conferences, your classroom teacher will discuss academic and social-emotional goals, discuss how the learning experience is progressing at school and at home, and share details about the classroom community with you. This is a collaborative meeting between families and teachers when we can answer your questions. We are so proud of our students and their strong start.
