Friday, March 6 is Report Card Day. If there is a letter requesting a conference in your child's report card envelope, please use the code to schedule an appointment that is convenient for you on Parent-Teacher conference day. If you do not receive a letter, I have no concerns regarding your child's progress. If you have concerns and would like to meet despite not getting a letter from me, please let me know and I can get the appointment code for you, or we could meet at a mutually convenient time any day before or after school.
