Report Cards and Parent/Teacher Interviews

Parent-teacher interviews will be held Thursday, November 22 in the evening and Friday, November 23 in the morning. Your child’s teacher will send home appointment information 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 any concerns you may have.
