Report Cards and Parent-Teacher Interviews
Report Cards will go home on Tuesday.
Parent-teacher interviews will be held Monday, April 10 in the morning and evening.
Your child’s teacher has sent home appointment information to you so that you may schedule a time to meet and discuss your child’s progress. As always, it is important to have these discussions not only at report card time – please contact your child’s teacher at any time throughout the school year to discuss anyconcerns you may have.
Please send in the goal sheet for your child, as this is our indication that you have seen the report card and had some discussion time with your child. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
