I hope that everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend. What a pleasant gift for the first weekend in November.
We have several events occurring this week.

Parent Teacher Conference Sign Up is Open in ParentVue
Conference Sign Up with your child's classroom teacher is open until November 16. Parent Teacher Conferences will be 15 minutes long and will be held over zoom on November 19 and November 23.
Due to the limited number of conference slots that are available, 3rd-5th grade parents will not be able to sign-up for a conference with their math teacher (if the math teacher is not their homeroom teacher). Please note that parents can contact their child’s teacher (including their math teacher) at any time via email or phone if they need to touch base about their child or if they have any questions for the teacher.
Directions to Schedule a Conference: To schedule your conference, log in to ParentVUE and select “Conference” from the menu on the left side to see the times available. Once you have scheduled your conference, you can click “Email Schedule” to have the details emailed to you. You can also go back to ParentVUE at any time to view the information.
