It’s hard to believe, but
the first quarter of school is over and fall conferences are right around the
corner on Monday, Nov. 25th and Tuesday, Nov. 26th. This quarter, conferences will be done in
place of report cards. Please sign up
for a conference time at your earliest convenience. The sign up sheet will be hanging up outside
our classroom door from Monday, Nov. 4th – Wednesday, Nov. 20th.
If you are unable to come in and sign up, please let me know a couple of times
that will work for you and I will schedule your conference time.
