Parent-Teacher Conference - November 9th
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Friday, November 9th from 11:45 -3:00 PM. Each conference will be 20-30 minutes in length. We are encouraging teams to conduct group conferences so that you can meet with as many teachers as possible. Also, if needed, teachers and teams might schedule conferences at other times and dates during the month of November.
Some conferences have been established already through phone calls from the counselors or team leaders. If you have been called and a conference has been set, you have no need to take any further action. Your conference is confirmed.
We will be scheduling all conferences on a first-come, first-served basis. If time slots are not available, we will set up a conference in the near future, on a day other than conference day.

Cookie Dough Pick-up - November 1st
Cookie dough is expected to be delivered to Lenape on Thursday, November 1st. If your child sold 4 or more tubs of cookie dough, we recommend that you arrange to pick up the order after school on the 1st.
If your child sold 4 or fewer tubs of cookie dough, we will plan to give the box to him/her to bring home that day. An order this size should not be difficult to carry.
When you arrive at the school to pickup your child's order, please drive around the back of the building to the cafeteria. We will have the boxes arranged on the tables in the cafeteria. Pickup will be from 2:30 -4:30 PM.
If you need to make alternative arrangements, please contact Mrs. Weller-Reilly through email: jreilly@cbsd.org
