Important Reminders and Updates

Technology Showcase Night

Make sure that you have whatever technology tools you need for this evening.  Remember this is a night that we may need to share some equipment, so please borrow what you need from various grade levels and then make sure and get it back to them at the end of the evening!   

Parent Teacher Conferences 

Remember that our parent teacher conferences will be on Friday, October 10th.  2nd-5th grade will be learner-led. Please make sure your learners (2nd-5th) or you (K-1) are prepared to share goals (trying to focus on both academic and social).  We will be talking more at our faculty meeting this week about some strategies and ideas for parent conferences.
