conference schedule

It's Conference Week! Click here to see the conference schedule. Remember, conferences are student-led! Your child needs to attend their conference. They will lead the first half, and I will join you for the 2nd half to give my input and answer any questions you may have.

Since I am only with you for half the conference, I scheduled conferences to overlap. I may be with another family when you arrive, so just come in and get started with your child. I will join you when you are ready for me!
