Thank you to all parents who were able to visit school during parent/teacher conferences. It was a good turn-out of parents this year. As always, parents are highly encouraged to engage with teachers if they have any questions or concerns about their student’s growth.

Volleyball

Oct. 22

The volleyball season was a success and finished with a Teacher/Student volleyball game last Wednesday. The Teachers are proud to have won the competitive game against the students. They did have the help of a “ringer” parent to lead the Teacher team onto victory, but the teachers prefer to just focus on the win! Great job teachers, well played!
