Again, lunch will not be provided as part of the party and students must bring a lunch from home or get a hot lunch from the school.
Trimester 3 Conferences

Our final round of conferences is here. As with previous conferences, we ask that you only sign up for one conference time. Please do not sign up for a conference with each of your child’s teachers.
***Teachers will not be able to share your child’s ability group placement for next year. We have not completed the necessary end-of-year testing which helps determine ability group placements***
Please visit the Middle School Webpage to sign up for a conference time. Conference sign-ups will close on Monday, April 15th at 4 pm to allow our teachers time to prepare for your conference.
