There will be no school on November 7th, so make sure to recharge and enjoy that day off. Also, mark your calendars for November 14th because it's Parent-Teacher Conference day, and a great opportunity to discuss your student's progress. Consider preparing some specific questions to go over with your student's teachers during this time.
