5th and 6th Grade News
February 1, 2016
Dear Fabulous Fifth and Sixth Grade Families,
Thanks so much to everyone who volunteered for Catholic Schools Week activities this weekend!
Progress Reports and Conferences: Progress Reports will be going home on Wednesday, February 3rd. Parent-Teacher conferences will be held on Friday, February 12th. There is no school for students that day, so conferences will take place during regular school hours. I will contact parents individually if a conference is required for their student, but parents can also request a conference if they would like to discuss anything. Conferences must be scheduled by Friday, February 5th. Feel free to email me and request a time.
Please remember: All students not in an adult-sponsored activity (orchestra, tutoring, etc.) must either be picked up by 3:15 or they will be sent to Extended Care (and families will be charged).
