Important Information

1.    Report cards will be handed out on Wednesday, March 12^th.  In the report card, you might see words such as: “is learning to”, “is beginning to”, “is working towards”, etc.  This means that your child is not yet demonstrating the skill indicated.  Student-Led Conferences will be on Thursday, March 13^th in the evening and Friday, March 14^th in the morning.  These conferences are a celebration of your child’s learning and hard work over the past term.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding the report card, we would be happy to discuss them with you at a separate meeting.  The sign up sheet for conferences will be in your folder today.  Please mark your top three choices and we will send home a confirmation note with your appointment time. THANKS!!

2.    On Monday, March 17^th, we will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day!  We are encouraging all students to wear something green for the day.  Please do not buy something special, we will ensure they have something green.  Also, if you are interested in providing a green or theme related “treat”, please sign below!

Have a great weekend!
