Many thanks to all who donated to our very successful 100th day of school Food Drive to benefit Gather. Today is the 100th day of school and our young students (except kindergarten, whose 100th day will be Monday), are celebrating with many counting activities. Tomorrow will be the last day to send in any donations.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
We will be about halfway through Trimester 2 in mid-February. We will have parent conferences on Feb. 14th as well as other times during the week. Students will have an early release day on Feb. 14th. Teachers will send out notices about how to sign up for conference times. We value the opportunity to meet with parents to discuss student progress. Parents can choose to meet in person or have a virtual conference.
