Career Cafe
This past Thursday, we had two speakers at our Career Cafe. Students enjoyed cookies and juice while Rick Moskalski and Leah McIntyre spoke to students about their careers. Mr. Moskalski educated students about his career as an EMT and Leah McIntyre enlightened students about her career as a Chief Engineer at NASA. Thank you to Mr. Moskalski and Mrs. McIntyre for taking the time to educate our students about your careers! Be on the lookout for more information regarding our next Career Cafe on February 28th.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Having conferences available to parents over the course of two nights allows for flexibility and gives families options, as we know activities can consume evenings. Please be mindful as there will be others waiting in line behind you to speak with teachers. Keep your conversations with individual teachers to 5-7 minutes.
Thank you, for your attention to this and we look forward to seeing you!
