Dear 4th Grade Families,
A draft of the parent-teacher conference schedule is attached to this week's email. If you have not yet reserved a time, please check the available appointment time and let me know which would work best for you. I'm looking forward to sharing your child’s 1st Trimester progress. Students will not be participating in the conferences. If students need to accompany parents, they may read or draw quietly in the hallway. Conferences are scheduled for 20 minutes.
Veterans Day Assembly Update: In support of our vision and hearing assessments, we must move our Veterans Day Assembly to Friday, November 6th at 9:00 am. We apologize for the inconvenience, yet this move ensures that each of our students will be assessed for auditory levels and visually acuity. We look forward to acquiring names of Veterans in your families. Thanks for your cooperation!
