PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES

Our Spring Parent Teacher Conferences continue this week. They began on Thursday, March 14 and end on Thursday, March 21. Please make every effort to attend the scheduled conference to discuss your child’s progress. Our teachers and students will share very important information and you will have an opportunity to ask questions about your child’s progress this school year.

THOUGHT EXCHANGE

It’s not too late to share your input! The deadline has been extended until March 22. You should have received an email asking you to participate in the idea sharing process. Please share your thoughts with Thoughtexchange to help us better understand what is important to you, whether in our school or the District. This process enables us to hear your ideas and learn about your priorities. This really does make a difference for our schools! Click here to share your thoughts.
