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. Please let me know if you have any questions! 

McTeacher Night
On Tuesday, March 29th from 4-8pm come and support Orchard Hills at the McDonalds on Chestnut Expressway and West Bypass.  WOHE gets a portion of the sales. The best part is that the faculty from Orchard Hills will be taking orders, selling cookies, and having fun!  I will be there from 4-5pm. Come, have dinner, and help support our school!

Dates to Remember
March 22nd & March 24th: Spring Conferences
March 25th: No School/ Good Friday
March 28th: Make Up Snow Day

March 29th: McTeacher Night
