Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday, September 26 and 27, from 4:00 to 8:00pm.  Parents of students with last names beginning with A-J should plan to attend on Wednesday; last names beginning with K-Z on Thursday.

Parent-Teacher Conferences can get very busy and teachers can get backed up, so if you think you will need more than a few minutes with any of your student’s teachers, we encourage you to contact those teachers prior to Parent Teacher Conferences to set up an appointment on a different day. We appreciate your help!
