Hello LPOSD Families,
One of my favorite times of year is coming up on March 15 – we will be holding elementary school student-led conferences for grades K-6. Students have the opportunity to share details of their school day, academic and behavioral progress, and goals for the remainder of the school year. You will hear directly from them about what they love and what they believe are challenges. Please join us in continuing to make the student-led conferences a HUGE success and note the date on your calendar.
On the same day, Friday, March 15, staff at both Sandpoint Middle School and Clark Fork Jr-Sr High School will be training in preparation for student-led conferences next year; therefore, there will be a non-student day at both of these schools on 3/15 this year. The only students who will have school on Friday, March 15, 2024 are Sandpoint High and LPOHS.
