Principal notes: Parent Teacher Conferences are critical in keeping the lines of communication open between teachers and parents. October 14-17 are the dates for Parent Teacher conferences and teachers will be sending out sign ups for you to select the best time for you. Please make this a priority in your schedule. We hope to have 100% participation.
