Dear Parents,
Hope everyone had a
great long weekend!
This is a short week for students. Please save the date for Student
Led Conferences this Friday October 25th. There is no school for students on
that day. You will be allotted a time during which you and your child can
come to class together. During this time, your child will show you around the classroom and explain what he/she has been learning. It is also the time you
will receive your child's report card and when the teacher will discuss with
you any concerns that she might have regarding your child's learning. There will
be a slip going home with your assigned time. Please be punctual.
