-       Parent-Student-Teacher School Conferences

-       A Message from School Council / Parent Association

 

As the weather continues to get colder, a reminder to send your children to school with appropriate clothing for outdoor weather, such as winter boots with good grip, jackets, snow pants, hats and mitts. Students go outside multiple times throughout the day, and we want to ensure they can focus on their learning and play in a comfortable way.

Parent-Student-Teacher School Conferences 

Thank you to all families who attended conferences throughout yesterday evening and today. These connections between school, family and student are key to student success and we appreciate you taking the time out of your schedule for your children. The sounds of joy and pride heard throughout the building on these days when students share their learning and learning spaces is a wonderful moment in their schooling to celebrate. If you did not meet with your child’s teacher, please be sure to contact them directly to set up a time to connect about your child’s learning.

 

A Message from School Council / Parent Association
