October Conferences

Just a quick point of clarification. Over the summer, while we were looking at our school calendar, we decided to move our conference days to Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (October 11th-13th) following October Break rather than the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (October 13-15th) following the break. So, October 11th-13th are half days where we dismiss 11:00-11:30.

We are asking parents to help support our staff by providing dinner items during the evening of our late-night teacher conferences in October. Our theme for the late night on Tuesday, October 12^th is a Picnic Theme. Our teachers will be getting a dinner break from 4:30-5:30. We have 70 staff members on campus this year. To sign up, please click the link below. We sincerely appreciate any and all donations.
