Conferences

Rumor is...some of you didn't get the orange note about the change in conferences!  So, here is another explanation of how we run our 5th grade conferences.  Conferences in fifth grade are Unscheduled.  You can come either of the conference days and see either Ms. Bram or myself, or BOTH if you'd like.  Stop in the office and pick up your report card.  Then come down and see us!  The dates/times are: Oct. 23 (1:30-6) and October 25 (4-8).  If you'd rather not wait on those nights, I also have some time available during the day when the kids go to specials.  Give me a call and I'll set up a time for you during my prep!
