PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES

THURS, DEC 7- DISMISSAL AT 11:30 AM

Touch base with your teacher if you have questions about your appointment time.

Please remember, it is difficult to meet with everyone in the short time teachers are given for this.  Teachers are allotted a limited amount of time on this day to discuss your child's progress so we are asking that you arrive on time to your appointments.  If you are late, you will most likely have to reschedule for another date. The teachers have to keep to their schedule so they will need to limit your questions.  If you have other concerns that aren't able to be discussed, please send a note to your teacher to meet at another time.

In addition, if you cannot meet on December 7 during the times available (12:30pm – 2:30pm or 4:30pm - 7:30pm), please make alternate arrangements directly with your teachers. (Throughout the year, dedicated time for parents to conference with teachers is on Tuesdays after school. You can contact your child’s teacher for more information about this parent time.)
