You will receive information from your child's teachers this week about early release conferences. Please know that we prioritize these days for students who are currently struggling in one or more areas. However, we would love to meet with all parents who would like a conference. If we are unable to accommodate you on early release days, please reach out to your child's teachers to schedule a conference after early release week.
