*OPTIONAL PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCE

Hi families, since we only have one scheduled conference at the beginning of each school year, I thought to open up a week where I will host evening conferences if any of you are interested in connecting virtually. The goal is to provide you with the opportunity to discuss your child's progress so far as we are almost nearing the end of the school year, along with answer any questions or concerns you may have. The conferences will occur the week of April 29th - May 3rd between 4pm-5pm. Each family is allotted a 10 minute time slot. 

Please note, these are virtual unless you will like to request an in-person meet up. 

Click HERE to view the available days and time slots. Please contact me via Edsby or Email to request a particular day and time, as availability is on a first come first serve basis. Please also state whether you prefer a phone call or google meet. 

Looking forward to connecting with you all!
