Principal's Message
Hello Tubman Families,
We have started the 2nd Quarter at Tubman! You should expect your child's 1st quarter report card to come home next week in their backpack.
All teachers have sent messages on Class Dojo about family conferences. Please make sure to sign up for a conference. We are offering conferences on November 13, 14, 15, 16, and 20. You may choose if you want your family conference to be in person, virtual, or via phone.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our school community!
Warmly,
Dr. Cavena Griffith
Principal
