*It’s time to sign up for MS conferences:* Thursday, October 13th 4-8pm,
and Tuesday, October 18th 4-7pm. Here are the steps when signing up for
conferences go to the district website and click on Family on top, then to
the right go to Family Resources. Half way down on the page you will see an
icon that says Parent Teacher Conference Registration. Click on the school
on the right hand side. If you need assistance call the MS at 467-7880.
Please limit your child to 2 teachers, this will help allow room for
everyone to get a time slot. If you feel the need to meet with more than 2
teachers for each child, please e-mail those teachers to schedule at
another time. Fifth grade parents will be getting a note in their child’s
folder letting them know which teacher to schedule conferences with. It
will be with just their homeroom teacher. That teacher will have all your
child’s information to share with you from the other teachers that your
child has. I have attached a list of teachers and their room locations.
Thank you for all your cooperation with scheduling conferences.
