REMINDER: NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY
Schedule Your Conference Today!

Just to clarify, teachers were only allowed to use one grade level when setting up the conference schedules. Because your child is in a multiple grade class, please check both grades to find your teachers name in the choice in order to schedule with that teacher.
If you are unable to use the online Conference Scheduler, please contact your student's teacher via phone or email.
Thank you for Volunteering
Your involvement really does make a difference for the teachers and in your child’s development.

We need parents willing to paint fairly fragrant signs with purple background and yellow lettering instructing car riders on our procedures. They will need to say the following.
