Virtual Parent Teacher Conferences
Our school will be holding Virtual Parent-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday evening, March 18th and Thursday afternoon, March 19th.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are an important opportunity for families to meet with teachers to discuss your child’s progress, as well as ways to help them improve. Families will be able to book appointments with individual teachers on Wednesday, March 18th from 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM and Thursday, March 19th from 12:15 PM – 2:15 PM. If you are unavailable on those dates, or if the teacher with whom you would like to conference is fully booked, please email the teacher(s) to schedule a conference at a different time.
