Conferences – January 16th and 17th
It’s time for our Spring Student-Led Conferences. Please select a time that you can meet in person with your child and the middle school team. Each conference should last about 25 minutes and will be with all of the middle school teachers at the same time. It is important that we meet with parents of all full-time students. Homeschool parents can also request a conference, but please contact your child’s homeroom teacher to set up an alternate date. We look forward to seeing you and discussing your child’s journey!
