Conferences:

Our February conferences are February 15 & 17 (3-7pm) and February 18 (7:40-12:00pm).   These conferences are virtual.  Staff do need to work from school.   Our PTO will be providing a staff meal on Tuesday.   If you have any conferences you want me to attend, please email me the date, time, and link and I can join, if needed.  

If you have families who do not have internet access, you can set up a phone conference with them.  If this is a conference that you need to "see" the parent, please let Steph or Justin know and we will help you with some alternatives. 

International Fun Day at Work:

I am excited to announce our International Fun Day at Work 2022!  We have rescheduled this event for Friday, February 25.  Please see the invite for more information!  

MCA Schedule: 

I know this is early, but here is our MCA schedule for 2022.  Please note the days/times, as we will need to keep students out of the library and keep them quiet in the building during testing times.
