Dear Families,
We look forward to meeting with all families during parent teacher conferences on February 22 & 23! Please remember to return the conference time request form to your child's teacher!
The Scholastic Book Fair will again be open in the Washington Library during parent teacher conferences. The book fair is an excellent opportunity to purchase books for birthdays, holidays and to read over the summer. We need your help to make it a success! Please consider volunteering an hour or two of your time. You can sign up through this link: http://signup.com/go/ODhJDRQ
