Remember that conferences are tomorrow and Thursday. WE will be dismissing early tomorrow (1:30). Conferences are from 2-6 Tuesday and 4-8 on Thursday. In fifth grade there is no scheduled time. Stop by any of the three homerooms to speak with the teachers about your child's progress. Conferences are short in order to keep everyone moving (with no scheduled times, it sometimes gets jammed up). If you think you'd like to spend more than 10 minutes with any given teacher, please feel free to schedule a longer conference at the end of your time.
