Spring Conference Notes
As you know, Math parents are given first priority for Spring Conferences. If I have any time slots still available after March 20, I will send the link for signing up to Homeroom parents on March 21. Also, please remember that you may contact me at any time with questions and/or concerns about your child's progress.
