Our Art Teacher - Mrs. Mallon
Mrs. Mallon has been teaching Art at Cambridge for the past 15 years. Not only is she a fantastic artist, but she has the unique ability to bring out the artist in every student who walks through her doors. When she is not working, Mrs. Mallon can be found cheering on her son at his sporting events. Fun Fact: Mrs. Mallon was a champion swimmer during her high school career!
Parent/Teacher Conferences ~ a message from Ms. Pemberton
Dear Families,
As you know, we will be having spring conferences for two days. February 26th will be an early release for daytime conferences only, while February 27th will be an early release for both daytime and evening conferences.
To reiterate what Superintendent Feder shared in his letter to you, please note that some parents may not require a spring conference due to the extensive communication that occurs between home and school throughout the year. We do not want you to feel compelled to conference, but we also do not want to discourage you from conferencing. Simply put, a conference should be something that is felt to be needed by either a parent/guardian or a teacher. If for any reason your child’s teacher believes a conference is necessary, he/she will certainly reach out to you.
As we did with fall conferences, we will again use Genesis to schedule conferences this spring.
Genesis will be open to all parents on Monday, February 3rd after 7:00 PM to schedule your conference. Genesis conference scheduling will close on Friday, February 21st. A letter from the elementary principals detailing the conference process can be found here.
If you have any questions about scheduling, or if you’re unsure about whether or not an in-person conference is timely for your child, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
