Spring Conferences are Near Spring Conferences are Near

In the Jan. 27th SMORE newsletter we reviewed the changes we've made to the manner in which we are sharing student achievement results this year. We still had Fall Conferences at the "normal time", and the same will be true for the approaching Spring Conferences (March 18, 20 & 24).

However, we moved the times when Progress Reports are completed and shared. The first progress reports went out in January, and families will receive year-end reports in June. If you have not signed up for your child's Spring Conference yet, please use the link below that was previously shared with all families.

If you have a student who will be attending kindergarten next year, there are two very important things to know.

1) If you haven't registered the child yet, it's very important you get that completed as soon as possible. More information around how to do that is included in the next section of this newsletter.

2) We would love to meet you and your incoming student at our Kindergarten Connections event on the evening of April 10th. See more in the flyer linked below that was shared with families earlier this year.

Welcome Caregivers of Future Kindergarten Students!

Visit https://www.isd77.org/enroll to access the online enrollment form. The online enrollment form can be completed on a variety of devices including a computer, tablet or smartphone. **A computer or tablet is recommended, as the process isn't quite as smooth when using a phone.**
