Students First ~ September 29, 2017
First Student Health Fair
Drawings for door prizes will also be taking place (you need not be present to win). For each booth you stop by, your child can earn a ticket for the drawings. We have scooters, bike helmets, gift cards, jump ropes, and many other fun items for the kiddos. A flyer with more information has been sent home with your child.

Parent-Teacher Conferences ~ October 19th 1:30-7;00
The conference will include time to discuss your student's strengths and challenges as well as highlight growth and develop goals. Research has shown that parental involvement increases student's success. We know that your support is so vital to that success.
4th Grade will be scheduled separately; watch for an e-mail from teachers. Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Reichart are unable to be here that evening. They will be contacting parents personally to set those up.
