Parent Teacher Conferences This Thursday Night and Friday Morning
Your child's teacher has reached out to you to schedule your spring Parent /Teacher Conference. Conferences will be held on Thursday, March 9, 5:00 - 8:00 PM and Friday, March 10, 8:00 AM- 12:00 PM. If you have not yet confirmed your conference time with your child's teacher please call 405-366-5884 to confirm your time.
We have just completed our mid-year benchmark assessments in Reading and Math. I am so very impressed with the growth that ALL students have made this year. Your child's teacher will be sharing with you your child's specific growth, skills mastered, and skills that will be learned in the last 9 weeks of school. Interpreters will be available. Please make plans to attend your parent teacher conference and to celebrate all they have accomplished this year.
If your child qualifies for summer school, there will be an enrollment station available during Parent/Teacher conferences.

Second Step
We want your child to be successful in school and that means supporting and encouraging their whole development. While excelling in academic classes is important, children also need skills to take on learning challenges, make good decisions, manage strong emotions, and get along with others.
Please see below to learn more about what your child is learning next week and find guiding questions to assist with continuing the conversation at home. Families can also visit The Second Step Family Webpage to view full lessons and student handouts.
