Conference Feedback
Thank you so much to all of the families who made it out for conferences this past week! We had an excellent turnout, and it was great to have the opportunity to meet with families and discuss their child's glows and grows. (Special shout out to the PTO for the amazing chili dinner they provided for teachers!)
College & Career T-Shirt Day - Monday 10/21
Our monthly College/Career T-Shirt day will be this Monday, October 21st. Students are encouraged to wear a t-shirt representing a college (or career) with uniform bottoms.
