Information and Updates
Grades 4-6 - Week of November 21st
Holiday Show Tickets
All Holiday Show seat assignments will be shared after we return from the Thanksgiving Break
Parents & Caregivers:
During conferences next week your child's teacher will be sharing information about your child based on the "4 Components of a Student". This will also be an opportunity for you to contribute to the discussion about your child's strengths in all aspects of their schooling experience. In order to give you time to think about what you would like to contribute to the conversation, we have provided the graphic organizer that will be shared with you next week. At the conclusion of your conference, you and the teacher will have an opportunity to set a goal for your child that will be revisited throughout the school year.
