Carus School News
Dear Carus Families,
We are excited to have an opportunity to invite you into the building next week for Parent-Teacher Conferences and don't forget to visit the Book Fair in the library while you're here. These provide valuable opportunities for open communication between educators and parents. These meetings provide insights into your child's progress, strengths, and areas for growth. We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for your child's success, and these conferences serve as a crucial avenue for collaboration.
To ensure a productive and focused discussion, we encourage you to:
Review your child's recent assignments beforehand.
Come prepared with any questions or concerns you may have.
Be open to constructive feedback and collaborative problem-solving.
Additionally, we would like to express our gratitude for your continued support and involvement in your child's education. Together, we can create a positive and enriching learning environment that fosters academic growth and personal development.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at the Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Warm Regards,
Nicole Goff
Carus Principal
