Parent Teacher Conferences
Teachers will start to contact parents by the end of this week to start scheduling conferences. Teachers will give priority to students who are failing or having behavior problems, but you are also welcome to request a conference with your child's teachers.
If you do want to request a conference, please contact our Office Manager by email and include your name, your child's name, and your reason for requesting a conference. We have slots available in 20-minute increments from 1:00-4:00 pm on September 20th and 1:00 - 7:40 pm on September 21st, with a dinner break from 4:00 - 4:40 pm. If you receive an email from your child's teacher requesting a conference, please respond as soon as possible with your preferred time. If you have a conference scheduled, please bring your child with you.
First Quarter Benchmark - ELA and Math
Please be here early to ensure you get food to eat in the morning and that you don't show up later. If you are late and/or don't come on 9/27 you will be pulled out of classes on a different date to make up the benchmarks.
Thank you for your cooperation!
