Message from Mrs. Rach
We are off and have hit the ground running into our second semester here at Cushing.  To continue to ensure the health and safety of our learners and staff, we will not be holding in-person conferences with families.  We have long known that not every learner needs to have a conference on a predetermined date.  Instead, our teachers are available to, and plan to, have responsive conferences and speak virtually or by phone with each family by February 26th.  These times could be before school, after school, or during the school day - if it works.  More information will follow from your child’s classroom teacher.  We look forward to continuing to partner with you in supporting your learners together.  If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
