Winter Parent Teacher Conferences- Winter conferences will be held the week of January 24th. I will send a conference sheet home with your child this week. Some of the sheets will say that I am requesting a conference with you, others say that things are going well and no conference is needed at this time. If a conference was requested, please either confirm the date and time, or give me your preference! Our staff is only required to meet with families that we have academic, behavioral, or social emotional concerns for the Winter conferences. However, if you would like to meet with me, I will make time for you! Our conferences will be offered as virtual or in-person as in the fall.

Please try to remember to pre-order your student’s lunches when they are going to participate in lunch.  This helps speed up the morning lunch count process.  You will be allowed to order the Friday before the next week using www.sendmoneytoschool.com.
