Parent, student, Teacher conference day will be Tuesday, October 10th, 2023 and there will be no school for students. Additionally, there will be no school for students October 9th, due to teacher professional learning day. Please look for communication from your teachers regarding scheduling of your conference as we need your partnership and participation. Students are encouraged to attend as it is crucial to have the team which includes parents, students, teachers, present to support student achievement.
