Tomorrow, Monday, October 15th, the 4K Outreach Event will be held at Cuff's Farm. Please read the information attached below. Please note: there will only be ONE hayride at 5:00PM! There will be several wagons available to us, but the wagons will be leaving at 5:00 so you must buy tickets and be ready to load the wagons prior to 5:00 if you want to participate in that event. There is a fee for the hayride, but all other activities are free. Please send an email to njsd4k@neenah.k12.wi.us with any questions. Payments for the hayride will be taken at Cuff's.
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, October 23rd from 4:00-8:00 PM and on Thursday, October 24th from 8:00AM-8:00PM. Confirmation of conference date/time will be sent home with your child on Monday.
