Conferences:






  • Papers should be coming home soon for you to sign and pick the day that you would like to come.




  • I really like to fit everyone in on the first two days and leave the last day (TH. Nov 8) for missed times and hard to schedule times.




  • If you miss your time on the first day , we could reschedule for the last day.




  • I want to meet with all parents.
