Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent teacher conferences are coming up fast! Please put them on your schedule now! We will have them September 14th , 15th , and 16th .This is a wonderful time to discuss where your child is academically and socially. This will help us both prepare them for the rest of the year and most importantly Middle School! A parent teacher conference scheduling form went out last week. Please choose 3 options that will work with your schedule and send this back as soon as possible. The first forms back will get their preferences of times. Please designate your choices by putting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on your preference. I will send a note home with your final time slot. If any of the dates and times do not work with your schedule please give me some that will and we will work something out. Thank you!
