SCHOOL NEWS AND VIEWS
October 25, 2019
This week's update:
The 1st quarter has ended. Now, our teachers have to finish the task of finalizing grades and preparing report cards. Please note that GRADES AND COMMENTS ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL MONDAY, NOV. 4 so you will see changes as teacher continue to input and finalize grades.
Please remember that we will hold Parent-Teacher Conferences Tuesday, November 5th and Wednesday, November 6th. It is the responsibility of the parent to sign up for the conference. Teachers have shared and I have also provided links below to sign up for a conference. Each conference is 15 minutes. You will receive the report card at this time. If more than 15 minutes is needed, the teacher can schedule another meeting on another day. Please be on time for your conference. If you are late, you will either have a shortened time or you will miss you conference.
There is Early Release on both of these days. We cannot hold conferences if teachers are teaching. PK, K4, K5 are released at 11:30. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th are released at 11:45.
5th, 6th, 7th and 8th are released at noon. Yes, we do have OOS on these days but there is an additional charge for those students who are not registered for our full time OOS program.
On Friday, November 8th, there is early release in advance of the three day weekend. There is no school on Monday, November 11th in recognition of Veteran's Day.
Thank you to our PTL and our Parent Volunteers and those who donated candy and drinks
Please remember that this is not a drop off event. All children must be supervised by an adult, including middle school students.

Parent-Teacher Conferences
Each homeroom teacher has a designated SIGN UP GENIUS page. They will be sharing them with you, but I have included them all here for your convenience.
Middle school parents, please only make an appointment with your child's HOMEROOM TEACHER and any specialty teacher that you may need to meet with.
The homeroom teacher will be distributing 1st quarter report cards as well as reviewing the results of the 1st MAP test.
Parents, below are the links to the conference sign-ups for our teachers. You need to select a time for a 15 minute appointment with your child’s HOMEROOM TEACHER to pick up the report card and have a general conversation.
If you wish to make an appointment with specialty teachers (spanish, technology, MS Religion, music), the links are provided.
