March 2nd-6th Newsletter

^{Parent Teacher Conferences}

^{Parent Teacher Conferences will be held this week.  School will be dismissed at 2:30 everyday including Wednesday.  During our conferences we will spend time planning and registering for the middle school.  I hope you have taken the time to decide if your child would like to be in the orchestra, band, or in the arts/music rotation.  The middle school is asking that we turn in the registration forms at the conclusion of SEP Week.  Also, there will be parent survey forms that we encourage you to fill out while you are here.  We use this information to help us in making decisions for the upcoming year and for self improvement.  Your input is valued.}
