Teacher Conference WeekWe look forward to meeting with parents for Teacher Conferences this week. To ensure student safety, students should sit quietly outside of classroom doors while parents are conferencing. We ask that students not roam the halls or go outside unattended. Children must be accompanied by an adult when attending the Book Fair. Also, please be sure to check the Lost and Found while you are at School (Lower School in SMPA Room and Middle School in front office.) Thank you.
