OPTIONAL Parent/Teacher Winter Conferences
Washington Families,
All families should have already received further information about this from you child's teacher. If you do not believe a conference is needed at this time, there is no further action required. If you are requesting a conference at this time, you can follow your child's teacher's directions on how to schedule a conference.
Thank you,
Mr. Russell
