Dear Parents:

MacopinSchool will be having Parent/Teacher conferences on Tuesday, November 24th. We will hold two conference sessions. The first will run from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm and the second will run from

6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. In order to accommodate the district’s conference schedule, our students will be dismissed at 12:29 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 23rd, 24th and 25th.

Report cards will be available on the parent portal on Monday, November 23rd. We suggest you review the report card and print a copy tobring with you. During Macopin’s conferences, for the most part, teachers are located at tables in either the gym or the cafeteria. A location guide will be available to you in the front hall upon arrival. Parents simply wait on line until a teacher isavailable to see them. In order to allow the maximum number of parents to meet with each teacher, we ask that your conference with any one teacher be limited to five minutes. If you feel the need for additional time, please see someone in the Guidance office to coordinate a mutually convenient conference.

Some notes about Conference Day:

  • Our school store will be open during the conference sessions. Come in and browse through our excellent variety of clothing and school supplies.
  • Mr. Joecks and Mr. Dygos will have the Macopin “Giving Tree” available for you to drop off

unwrapped gifts for children of any age group. They will also be accepting books (new or slightly used) to give with the gifts this year. All donations will be given to the “Toys for Tots” program run by the local Elks Lodge and to local churches. The “Giving Tree” will be available from Conference Day untilFriday, December 18th.

  • Mr. Dygos is announcing that “Operation Thank You” winter care package send-off will begin November 1, 2015 to support the brave soldiers serving in Afghanistan. Donations and letters to the soldiers can be dropped of at the Macopin School Main Office.
  • The Macopin PTA will be holding a bake sale. Please support our PTA.
  • Members of the Child Study Team, Guidance Counselors and the Nurse will be available in their offices.

We look forward to seeing you on Conference Day!
