Spring Conferences
This year’s 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 let me know if you have any questions! 

Read Across America
Next week is Read Across America.  This is when we celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birth and emphasize the importance of reading.  Here are some events that are happening next week:
Monday: Nothing
Tuesday: Bring a quarter and wear your favorite hat
Wednesday: Nothing
Thursday: Wear Stripes
Friday: PJ Day
