MONDAY, MARCH 6th: https://signup.com/go/txWjhJp
Absences
If your child will not be in school, please call our office staff at 446-4000 by 9:00AM. If we do not hear from you, our office will be calling to check the whereabouts of your child. Your child’s safety is always our number one concern. Being on time and having good attendance is crucial for learning. When a child is habitually absent/tardy, there is a negative impact on learning.
Conferences
Dear Bennett Parents/Guardians,
Conferences are scheduled for March 2 and 6 from 3pm-7pm. You may schedule your child's conference using the link below.
Please keep in mind that we hold one conference per student. Parents/Guardians need to collaborate with each other to find a mutually agreeable time and then sign up for that one time slot.
If you would prefer a Zoom conference, please sign up for a time slot and let your child's teacher know you would like to conference via Zoom. If the conference days of March 2 and 6 don't work for you, let your child's teacher know so an alternate conference time can be scheduled.
Finally, if your child is in Mrs. Shinler's or Mrs. Knell's classrooms, you won't find their name on the conference list. Further communication will be coming regarding Mrs. Knell's and Mrs. Shinler's conferences.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please call the Bennett Office (701.446.4000).
Thanks so much!
Ms. Schafer
