Dear Parents and Caregivers,
It was nice to see so many of you over the last two days for parent - teacher conferences. We hope that you found the time informative and helpful. We certainly appreciate the collaboration as we work together ensuring that your child has a successful school year. We have one more day of conferences next week. So, if you have not signed up for a conference yet please reach out to your child’s teacher or the main office so we can schedule a time for you. If you cannot make one of the scheduled times please be sure to still reach out to your child’s teacher to arrange an alternate time.
It is hard to believe that when we return to school on Monday we will be in the month of November. Enjoy the weekend, and I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday!
Warm Regards,
Mr. Ledebuhr
