Last week all our families recieved an email asking everyone to sign up for a student led conference time slot to hear about all of the wonderful things your child has done this year. All students will be dismissed at 2:00 PM both days to allow time for families to come into the school.

This is a great opportunity for your child to take the lead in showing thier learning. If you have not yet signed up for a time slot to come in, please do so soon. There was an error with the first email sent so please use the link sent out at or after 1:00 on April 8 to sign up.

We are looking forward to seeing all of you celebrate your child’s successes.
