It is that time of year! Parent Teacher Conferences will be tomorrow Thursday, October 24th from 9 am to 7 pm. We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to attend this opportunity to engage with your child's teacher about their academic progress this year. If you cannot make it, please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher to schedule a time that works with your schedule.
There will not be in-person learning tomorrow as it is an asynchronous (virtual) learning day. Students will receive their assignments to be completed while at home.
Every day matters! Missing days can affect your child's progress. Please do your best to ensure they're in class every day. If they're absent, let us know right away. Together, we can help them reach their goals! 🎓🐅
