Dear Parents,
Friday and Monday we will have our Parent-Teacher Conferences. You should have received a confirmation from your teacher so that you know when you are signed up for a conference. If you have questions, please call the school office or email your homeroom teacher.
Please come prepared with any questions you have for your teacher. As you know, the trimester does not end until November 30. Setting new goals for your child will help to bring up grades if he/she got off to a slow start. As always, conferences should be a conversation, providing an opportunity for us to get to know each other so that we can work together for the good of the children. We look forward to seeing you at conferences!
Blessings,
Barbara Dalmut
