February 23-27th Newsletter

^{Parent Teacher Conferences}

^{Parent Teacher Conferences will be coming up next week.  They are scheduled for the week of March 2nd-6th.  I will be sending an appointment slip home in today’s homework packet so that we can schedule you and your child for next week.  5th graders will be signing up for classes for next year’s middle school.  I would advise you to contemplate if you would like to have your child take band, orchestra, or the arts rotation.  Those are the only electives that are offered for 6th graders.  We will have applications for both middle schools available. Please return the appointment slip as early as possible this week if you cannot make the appointed time. Indicate several times and days so that we can try and work you in at those times.  Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to attend these conferences.}
