Spring Conferences
Dear Ojibwa Families,
As in years past, this years Spring Conferences will be by invite only. By this Friday, March 3rd, you should receive notification from your child's teacher regarding their invitation status for Spring Conferences. If you have been invited to our Spring Conferences you can select a date and time using the Sign-Up Genius link below. The Sign-Up Genius will open on Monday, March 6th at 6:oo pm for you to sign up.
If you are not invited to a conference for your child but would like to speak with the teacher, please contact the teacher directly.
Spring Conferences will take place on the evenings of March 15th and March 16th.
Thank You,
Mr. Kondziolka
Ojibwa Lunch Procedures Reminder
Recently at Ojibwa we have had to make an adjustment to our hot lunch ordering procedures, where we must now prohibit those who have not specifically ordered from the Lunch Ordering Link from getting a hot lunch. Instead those students receive a PB&J or a Grilled Cheese, along with a milk, fruit and/or a vegetable.
In order for your child to receive the hot lunch option listed on the lunch menu you must fill out the form attached to the Lunch Ordering Link. This ensures we order enough product, and provides us an assurance that your child will be eating hot lunch that day. Additionally, if you are receiving a Free or Reduced price lunch you still have to fill out the lunch link.
Thank You for your understanding and for your assistance in getting Ojibwa accurate lunch counts.
Mr. Kondziolka
