A Look Ahead
Parent Conference Week 10/8-10/12
If you have not done so already, be sure to respond to your child's classroom teacher via email to confirm a date and time for conferences. This is a valuable time to understand your child's progress thus far, and is important in knowing what is expected of them throughout the year.
If you are unable to meet with your child's teacher this week, be sure to re-schedule a date that works for you via email.
AMA's Trunk-or-Treat 10/31
If you would like to volunteer for our annular Trunk or Treat event on Halloween, please see Miss Maltas' email with more information!

ABOUT CATER TOTS
