Parent/Teacher Conferences Sign-Up
If you see that none of the times or days work for you, please reach out to me right away. It is my expectation that I will meet with every family to discuss their child's progress so far this year.
I also emailed a copy of the link to you all.
Report Cards
I will save a copy to discuss during Parent/Teacher conferences. This copy will be colored so we can more clearly see which areas your child is strong in and which areas we will be working on during Quarter 2.
