Let me start by reminding everyone that student-led conferences begin this week. Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 8 from 4:00-6:30 PM and again on Tuesday, November 13 from 4:00-6:30 PM. Sixth grade students will gather their information and take it to the gym where tables will be set up for them to conference with their parents. Seventh graders will gather their materials and meet with their parents in the cafe. As of this posting, I will be located in the gym for those of you who wish to meet with me. How we do conferences are one more thing that has been affected by our loss of teaming here at the middle school. We are doing our best to meet the needs of everyone involved, but this is our first attempt. If you are unable to conference with me at this time, but you still wish to speak with me about your child's progress, please send me an email and I'm sure we can work something out. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding. I hope to see you all there!
