Parent-Teacher Conferences

This month we have Parent-Teacher Conferences scheduled for October 20 and 23. Elementary conferences are held from 4-7 p.m. and Jr./Sr. High conferences are scheduled from 5:30-8:30 p.m. All conferences will be held in the elementary building. Attending Parent-Teacher Conferences is a great way to learn the strengths and areas of growth for your children. In addition, this is a great opportunity for you to ask questions and share any concerns you may have about your child's education. Of course, you do not have to wait until conferences to have your questions or concerns addressed as we are more than happy to talk with you as things arise throughout the year.


The Elkhorn Logan Valley Health Department will also be in attendance at Parent-Teacher Conferences. You can bring your family to get flu shots while you are here for conferences if you'd like! 💉💉💉


The committee that has been researching and fundraising an elementary playground project will also be available during Parent-Teacher Conferences to answer questions and display the proposed design. Please note that the primary funding source for this elementary playground project will be donations. 🛝🛝🛝
