Jordan Creek Spring Conferences
Jordan Creek Elementary School | February 10, 2021

It is hard to believe that we are already at the point in the 2020-21 school year where we are planning our spring conferences. We received positive feedback regarding our fall virtual conferences, so we look forward to repeating the process for our spring conferences.
We will be holding virtual conferences Wednesday, March 3, Thursday, March 4, and Monday, March 8 for on-site students. After school conference times are available both Thursday and Monday. In addition, we will have conferences all day on Wednesday, March 3. This means we will have ALL ON-SITE STUDENTS learn online that day. This decision was made to help teachers have time to schedule video or phone conferences throughout the entire day.
We look forward to connecting with you through our spring conferences. Please remember you can always reach out to your student’s teachers any time you have questions about your student’s learning.
