SPRING PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
ELEMENTARY STUDENTS: Parents of elementary students should sign up for a 15-minute virtual conference with their child’s homeroom teacher. Due to limited spots, please do not schedule a conference with your child’s reading or math teacher on conference nights. You may choose to email your child’s reading or math teacher directly if you would like to set up a conference at a different time.
MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS: Middle School conferences will be held by teacher or parent request only. If you do not receive a request for a conference, you do not need to sign up for conferences. However, you may sign up for a conference if you wish to speak with a specific teacher. Middle School homeroom teachers will be sending individual invites to students for whom teachers would like to request a conference.
Please use the following link to sign up for virtual conferences: https://signup.com/go/BAibmzf

KNOWLEDGE-A-THON (KAT)
Each student is given a list of 50 questions and answers related to our Core Knowledge curriculum that will be taught -- or has already been taught -- this school year. Students study with their teachers and parents to prepare for KAT Day while collecting pledges from their families. for instance let's say Aunt Betty offers her niece a per question pledge of 50 cents. Her niece will be asked 50 questions on KAT Day. If her niece gets 45 answers correct, her Aunt Betty will donate $22.50 (.50 X 45) to our school. Also, anyone can choose to give a straight dollar amount instead of a per question pledge.
Unlike many other potential school fundraisers involving selling products or coupons, KAT is a low-cost, high-profit fundraiser that promotes our curriculum and guarantees that 100% of what students earn goes directly to Classical School.
Week of March 22nd:
- Parents will receive KAT information including the schedule, questions, and pledge sheet.
- Poster paper will be available for pick up from the school.
Week of April 5th:
- Students drop off their completed posters to the office or homeroom teacher
Week of April 12th:
- Lottery Lollapalooza
Week of April 19th:
- Quizlet Live/Games
KAT Day: April 28th!!
