October 6, 2023 Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up soon. We encourage all parents to schedule a day and time to meet with your child's teacher. We want to partner with you in helping your child grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We can answer your questions at the conference and share where your child is performing academically. We can also share with you your child's latest NWEA MAP assessment and plans based on data and go over the school-home compact and the campus family engagement policy. To learn more about MAP testing, check out the family toolkit page.
