 Student-led Conferences are this Friday, October 29th. It is manditory that you and your child attend. We apologize for not sending home the conference time form yet. We have attached the form to the blog. If possible, can you please print it out and have your child bring it to school on Tuesday. We will also send a form home with the children that could not print it out. The sooner we are able to get your convenient meeting time, the better we will be able to acommodate you.
