Parent-Teacher Conferences:
I look forward to the opportunity to begin the conversation about your child’s progress in the 1st grade. This is also my opportunity to gain insights into my students’ home and community lives. Your perspectives on your child’s strengths and needs, learning styles, and nonschool learning opportunities can help me shape my instructional methods. The fall conferences window is Oct. 15-Nov. 2. Please click SignUpGenius to reserve a slot. You will receive an email reminder two days prior to your scheduled conference. Each report card parent-teacher conference will last for a period no longer than 20 minutes. You will receive your child's 1st-quarter report card during this meeting as we discuss his/her 1st nine weeks of progress. Both parents are encouraged to come, if possible. Please reserve a slot by Wednesday, October 3rd.

A Book Fair is powerful, guaranteeing students have amazing titles in reach. It offers kids a real reading motivator – choice in what they read. Access, choice, and reading practice – it’s what creates star readers.
