Ms. Bell's Briefings

Thank you for your flexibility as we have had to reschedule several events due to our unexpected DLD and day off last week. Please note the adjusted schedules for our Community Yard Sale and Walk-and-Talk.
I have contacted my child's teacher (through email, Parent Square, or phone). When should I get a response? Because teachers are busy teaching your students during the day, we ask that they reserve planning times for responding to parents. However, teachers also have required meetings during their planning times on most days. Therefore, please allow 24-48 hours for responses from teachers.
