Not Able to Attend During Collaborative Conferences? 

If you are not able to attend Spring Conferences with your child your child will be recording and sharing his or her presentation.  This video will be shared with you via email from his or her teacher.


SMART Watches & Other Distractions

SMART watches are starting to show up here at the elementary schools. Many SMART watches have similar capabilities to SMART phones (game, voice, and text capabilities).  If a SMART watch becomes a distraction, it may be confiscated and stored in the office to remove the distraction from the learning environment. Essentially, we will treat the SMART watches like a cell phone. Confiscated equipment may be picked up in the office at the end of the day by the student(s).

Additional Parent Communication about Spring Conferences

Spring Conferences are coming on Thursday, March 12th from 5pm-8:30pm and Friday, March 13th from 10am-1:30pm.  Your child’s teacher sent you a link to Sign-Up Genius to sign up for your time slot. These conferences are led by your child, so make sure they are with you.  We do have childcare available on site for additional siblings during your child’s conference so you can have your full attention on your individual child as they proudly share their work and progress with you.  Childcare is only available for children age 2 and above. The staff will not accept diaper bags. Staff watch the children and provide quiet activities for the conference period.  


Warm regards,
