Conferences are tonight from 3:30-6:30.  You will have the opportunity to pick up your student’s report card and meet with any of his/her teachers in the cafeteria.  This is the only night for spring conferences.

If you are unable to attend conferences but have questions or concerns about your student’s ELA progress, please email me or leave me a voice mail message and I will get back with you.  Any report cards not picked up tonight will be given to students in class either Thursday or Friday of this week.
