Conferences
This week is early release at 1:30 pm Tue-Thu for parent conferences.
The PTO is supplying a meal for teachers on Tuesday thanks to Barbaritos for a deep discount and to Kelly, Anna and the other parent volunteers who organize these support activities. Due to the great response for the last meal we have enough left over drinks, paper goods, etc to not need anything extra this time.
