Principal's Corner
Parents and guardians,
Your role and investment in your student’s education is a key factor to his or her success. While we always welcome regular communication between home and school, we formally invite all parents and guardians to come visit with our teachers twice a year during our parent-teacher conferences.
All families should have received an email from your Pro-Time teacher to schedule a ten-minute conference during the evening of either Thursday, February 10th or Tuesday, February 15th. Families will have the option to choose an “in-person” conference in the teacher’s classroom, or a virtual conference. Your preference should be indicated when you complete the Sign-Up Genius link sent by your Pro Teacher. If you have not received an email, please reach out to your students’ PRO Teacher to arrange a time.
Also, please note that although the conference will be scheduled with the Pro Teacher (a core teacher from the team), families are encouraged to also visit with the encore teachers. Please email those teachers directly if you would like to schedule a conference with one of them. Encore teacher names and email addresses can be found on the students schedules through the Parent Portal. All teachers will also be in their classrooms the evenings of conferences. Their potential availability for a walk-in conference will be posted on their classroom door.
We look forward to visiting with you soon. Thank you again, for partnering with us to make school a positive experience for your child.

Reporting an absence
If your child is going to be absent, please call the school (367-7639) prior to 8:40am. An absence must be reported either by note or phone in the day of the absence, or before if you know ahead of time. Absences can also be reported via voice mail outside of regular office hours. Students leaving during the day need to pick up a pass in the office by 9:00am and also check out with a parent/guardian at the office when leaving. If they come back during the school day, a pass from the front office needs to be issued in order for them to get back into the classroom. Student safety is the main concern and this procedure provides another check on a student’s absence.
