A Note From Mrs. Rudder
It was so good to get back to school on Monday! I know that the Kincade Fire affected so many Penngrove families as well as so many Penngrove Staff members. I hope that things are settling down in everyone's lives now.
Conference weeks start next Tuesday and we will have shortened days for the two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving Break. Please be sure to sign up for a conference with your child's teacher. At Penngrove we plan for 100% participation. Conferences are a time for teachers to share your child's academic progress as well as information about how your child is doing when working with and relating to peers. Likewise, it is also a time for parents to share any concerns with their child's teacher or to relate how excited their child is to learn. Teachers have limited time for each meeting, so plan to be prompt at arrival!
Reminder:
Please also remember that parking for families is in the lower parking lot. The upper lot is for staff use only! We often have extra teachers on site for music, OT, and PT. The very few extra spaces that we have need to be reserved for those teachers. Thank you for your cooperation!
