From the Principal
Conferences are in 2 short weeks, so please check with your teacher about your day and time. We are hoping for 100% participation, and if you need support attending, contact our Family Advocate Annie Gage. We continue to practice ‘respect’ and in October we will practice ‘responsibility.’ Please talk about responsibility and give your student(s) things to be responsible for. Be sure to keep reading and playing outside together.
See you soon – Mr. T
