Conferences

Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place in person. Please sign up for a conference time for each of your students. After signing up, you will receive a confirmation email for your child's conference. We are striving for 100% participation.


All classroom teachers are in order by grade level. If you would also like to conference with a Specials teacher, they are included at the bottom of this schedule. Please be prompt when arriving to your conference(s) as we have a very tight schedule to uphold.

Capturing Kids' Hearts - CKH

What is Courage?

Courage is the ability and strength to face something that may be difficult or challenging. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather perseverance in the presence of fear and the willingness to stand up for what is right or try something new even though it may be uncomfortable or uncertain.
