DECEMBER NEWS
Parent Teacher Conferences, December 12 and 13
We are holding Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday and Friday, December 12th & 13th. School will be dismissed at noon and conferences will be from 12:30 to 5 on both days.
You will be able to register your child in to Extended Day for the afternoon or you can drop off your child, for no charge, while you attend your conference.
In order to best accommodate sibling conferences and help with special circumstances, we are continuing to schedule these conferences by hand. Thank you to everyone who already returned the completed forms.
If you haven’t turned in your choices yet, you can print a form here or get one in the office if it’s easier.
Also, if you would rather skip the conference this time and have your child’s report card mailed, please check off that option on the form and return it.
Confirmations of days and time will be sent home after Thanksgiving.
