Triton Middle School Updates
February 27, 2017
Update from Mr. Lutterman
The past few newsletters have been filled with a lot of information on upcoming events at Triton Middle School. I will try to summarize the upcoming events. You can also access additional information via the letters linked below.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Tuesday, March 14 Scheduled Conferences (3:30 -7:30 PM)
We will meet with parents and students in grade level teams. This is different from the traditional conference format as we will sit down as an instructional team to discuss progress and strategies for improvement.
A middle school staff member will contact families who should be attending scheduled conferences.
You may also request a scheduled conference by contacting Luke Lutterman.
Reminder - March 14 is for scheduled conferences only.
Tuesday, March 21 Traditional Parent/Teacher Conferences (3:30 -7:30 PM)
This will be a traditional conference format where parents and students will have the opportunity to visit with teachers individually.
Parent Engagement Tours
We would like to invite parents/guardians to experience a portion of the school day with their child. We are working toward developing partnerships with all families and believe it is helpful to experience a school day to learn more about what we are trying to accomplish at Triton Middle School. It would be great if you would join us for this experience. Please fill out the RSVP form linked below if you are interested.

WHOOOO GIVES A HOOT ABOUT READING?
Students will be given owl bookmarks and will record reading minutes on those. Each section is 15 minutes of reading and parents and teachers need to initial those sections for their children.
