MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL LAMBERT
Dear Mariano Castro Parents,
Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming! Second grade will hold their conferences the week of March 4th and the other grades will hold conferences the week of March 11th. Please make arrangements to come at your scheduled time. There are not minimum days that week (except Thursday) and we bring in substitutes and pay teachers to stay later so it is very important that you keep your appointment time.
During this week PTA is holding a fundraiser Book Fair in the MUR. The Book Fair will be open each day from dismissal until 6:00 p.m. and will have books at all levels, both fiction and non-fiction. Please support our PTA and bring more books into your home at the same time!
Best Regards,
Theresa Lambert, Principal
