ISAT Testing Week - DONE!
I am so proud of the students for their diligent, hard work during a long week of testing. They took their time and kept their focus - they deserve a little rest this weekend!
Too Good For Drugs (T.G.F.D.) Program
This week Deputy K showed a power point presentation to provide information about inhalants and marijuana. The students were given fact sheets on both of these topics which need to be reviewed with a parent. These sheets need to be signed by a parent and returned by Thursday, March 11.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
If you requested a conference with either your child's homeroom and/or math teacher, you should have been contacted with a date and time to confirm. Please understand that conferences are scheduled for 15 minute time slots. It is necessary to end on time so teachers can remain on schedule for the next parents. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
