Parent/Teacher Conferences


The week of October 23rd through October 27th, school will be dismissed at 1:10. During this week, we will be having parent/teacher conferences.  Unlike the elementary schools who have conferences for every student, we will only be holding conferences for students who may be at risk.  You will be notified my mail if a conference is needed for your child.  Please remember our early day bell schedule is different than our regular day schedule. To see both bell schedules posted on our Website, click here.

PTA Reflections Program

The PTA Reflections Program is officially underway.  We hope all your kids have been reflecting about their favorite places and have begun to express their thoughts through writing, music, photography, art, video, or dance!  If you have any questions or need an entry form, please contact Barbara Oetting at 931.6826.  Entries are due by October 18th.
