Parent Conference Week coming October 3-5
Conferences are a great time for parents and teachers to renew strategic partnerships to help students thrive academically. Constructive feedback from both parties enriches the school experience for our students. Watch next week’s lamp-post for sign up sheets for each teacher. Appointments last around 20 minutes and are typically held after school until around 5:30 pm each day.
