Conference Time

It is that time again for parent/teacher conferences. This Spring conference is not mandatory, and for some I do not need to meet with you. I will be sending home a letter explaining more and letting you know if you will be needing to schedule a time with me. The students this year have been making great progress and are doing very well in the combo class. I have seem a lot of behavioral and academic growth from them. I am very proud of this class. Report Cards will be sent home the week of March 12 - 16th. Thank you very much.
