Thank you so much all of you who have volunteered to drive to the Crocker Art Museum. I will take everyone on this trip, but I will cut it off at those who have already volunteered. The parents attending this trip will be: Emily Ogle, Jon Blumberg, Ronnie Sandhu, Tiffany Rinard, Kristen Breaux, Amber Shapira, Heather Wong, and Brittany Brouc. I will be sending details to the chaperones at a later time.

Families, please remember that we are taking a sack lunch and eating at the museum. They do not allow large bags in the museum, so chaperones and students need to leave large bags in the car along with the lunches.

If it is chilly that day, students may want to wear layers. They need to carry their own jackets if they get warm. The chaperones are not coat racks - haha!

I will put these reminders in the newsletter next week as well.

I still need a few forms from some families. If you have misplaced them, please let me know and I will send a new copy.

I sent home the conference time confirmation slips on the bi-weekly successful practices sheets. Please keep the salmon colored paper with the conference time and sign and return the green half sheet. Thank you!

Also, conferences include the student. They are leading the conversation.
