Thank you parents and guardians for attending our fall parent teacher conferences. Our teachers enjoyed sharing the growth your child has made during first quarter, answering questions, and getting to know you. Your participation in these important discussions strengthens the bond between home and school, in turn creating a more stable path for your child's successful educational career.

Remember to stay in contact with your child's teachers outside of conference time. You can always reach out via email or request additional conferences with teachers as needed. Teacher contact information is available on our school website here.

Food for classroom celebrations must be organized by the classroom teacher with approval from the school nurse. This guarantees all students with dietary restrictions and allergies are taken care of and can safely participate in the celebration. Unapproved donations of food will not be accepted and returned to the donating family.

If you are interested in supporting your child's teacher with autumn celebrations at the end of the month, please reach out to them as soon as possible to begin planning with them.
