Parent Teacher Conferences -- Thursday, October 17, 2019, from 1:30pm to 7:00pm
The conference will include time to discuss your student's strengths and challenges as well as highlight growth and develop goals. Research has shown that parental involvement increases student's success. We know that your support is so vital to that success.
