Attention Parents Dropping Off Students
A reminder that student drop-off is located in the front of the building, and not off the side with student parking. We have had several instances already this year where parents have almost hit students walking into the building. Because of this, we will be blocking off exits and limiting vehicle access soon from the student parking lot to ensure the safety of our students as they enter the building. Also, as the temperatures drop, please remember that the building opens to students starting at 7:15.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for November 15th. Please reach out to your child's teacher(s) if you would like to request a conference. Our hours for conference night are as follows:
In-Person Conferences: 2-4
Virtual Conferences: 5-7
We understand that these times may not work with everyone's schedules. If that is the case, please reach out to your child's teacher(s) to schedule a time to meet on a different date.
