Parent - Teacher Conferences
Last week, I discussed the importance of report cards and parent/teacher conferences. Next week, we will be holding our winter parent/teacher conferences. If you haven't signed up, please be sure to contact the school and get on the schedule. If you cannot find a time that will work for you, please reach out to your teacher for alternate suggestions. Help us to keep the lines of communication open and support your child's education.

Dance Night 2023
Spaulding School held its annual (minus a Covid year) Dance Night at Viking Middle School this week. More than 280 students attended, hundreds of family members, and many staff members as well. Dance Night is the culmination of a month's long unit that combines music classes with physical education dances. The students learned 23 dances this year including "Dynamite," "Old Town Road," "Whip It," and "The Cupid Shuffle."
