Week 11
This week...
There is no school on Tuesday, November 5th. Instead, parents will have conferences either on Zoom or in our classroom, room 11. I will send you the link to our Zoom meeting (if applicable) prior to our meeting time. If you haven't already done so, please fill out this pre-conference survey to help me best prepare for our meeting. I look forward to chatting with you about your 3rd grader's progress and goals. Thank you!
