It has been a hard-working and rewarding week all-in-one. Thank you to all of you for supporting your child and coming in and allowing them time to share all of their successes. We had some conferences go for 45 minutes! The students were amazing and really took pride in showing you all the great things they are doing. I also appreciate the conversations that you created with your child on reflecting on how they can continue to improve and stay strong in their learning! Here are some upcoming events to know about: Progress reports go home, February 26th. There are 2 weeks left before the end of the 9-weeks.
