If you can help...thanks!! We know it's late notice. Eek!!
Thank you for all who were able to spare some time to come to our student led conferences. We so appreciate it. It's so important for our kids to have opportunities to present in public. Starting with parents is a great, comfortable first step plus we were hoping you'd get a glimpse as to how their year is starting to come together. We appreciate all of the feedback you've given. We're taking it to heart in order to serve you best. If your child didn't have an SLC, we'll look at makeup times in January. This week's a little too crazy. Have a restful holiday season! See you in January.
