Please join us to meet with your child's grade level teachers to talk about grade reporting, learning goals for the year, and parent communication. It is key for you as the parent to know what we need from you at home to increase the child's growth for the year.

It is only 45 minutes long.  We want to continue to build our learning team between school and home.

Thanks, Mr. Junge

**Important** Please read

We still have some parents that need to sign up for a Parent-Teacher Conference to start the year. This is replacing our former Open House format of just coming in and dropping off materials.  Please sign up for a slot to bring in materials and build the all important teacher / parent relationship to start the year. Thanks, Mr. Junge
