- It’s nearly time once again for Parent-Teacher Conferences! Conferences will be held “Arena style” this THURSDAY afternoon from 4:30 – 7:30 PM, and on FRIDAY morning from 7:30 to 11:30 AM. Tell your parents that they can meet with ONE or ALL of your classroom teachers. No appointments are necessary, but meetings are limited to 5 minutes each. Parents and teachers together — what could be better than that?!
. - This is a reminder for all students and staff about “arriving to school” in the morning. Students may enter the building at 7:20am. All exterior doors will remain locked until that time. Please do NOT “piggy-back” into the school behind teachers — who do arrive earlier — nor should you open the doors for your friends if you arrived early. Again, the school will be open to students at 7:20am. See you grade-level admin with any questions.
