Thank you for your participation in parent-teacher conferences. Virtual conferences seems to have some definite benefits--easier to schedule and attend for many--but we definitely miss having our parents in our building.

Thank you for being THE most important part of your child's education. Even at this age, it is important for school staff and parents to work together. We like to see students taking on more responsibility and independence, but we still look forward to working with parents and families as well.

If at any time you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out.
