Dear Families,
Classroom teachers have already sent out conference times for the week of October 23rd. If you haven't yet responded to your child's teacher with your preferred conference time, please take a moment to do so. You can either call the school office or send a message via SeeSaw to your child's teacher.
We greatly value these conferences as they provide us the opportunity to discuss your child's progress and address any concerns or questions you may have. Your active participation in this process is appreciated.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Margaret Emery

Students were given materials and one section of tape to create a house that had to hold up to the big bad box fan (wolf). Was great seeing collaboration and teamwork!
