Spring Conferences
This year Spring Conferences will be March 22nd and 24th. These conferences will be different from fall conferences in that they are not student-led but more conversation focused and a chance to look at data about your child’s growth this year. I am asking that your child doesn’t attend. Notes went home on Friday. Please read yours carefully for the directions on how to sign up and when to send them back. I am excited for the chance to meet with you and chat about how your kiddo has grown this quarter! Please let me know if you have any questions!
