  1. November 1st is the next eLearning Day for students.\u00a0 Please log in to PowerSchool and RSVP so we know which students will be coming to school that day.<\/li>\n
  2. Parent Teacher conferences are scheduled for November 1 and 6. Parents can come anytime between 4pm and 7pm and stop by to meet with the teachers. We ask that parents of students last name A-L try to come on November 1 and last names M-Z try to come on November 6.\u00a0 If the other date works better for you, that is fine! To speak to a teacher, just stop by their table.\u00a0 If that teacher is busy, simply find another teacher on your child\u2019s schedule and meet with them first.\u00a0 This format allows more parents to meet with more teachers, which benefits our students. A representative from 21st Century Scholars will be at school on November 1, during conferences.<\/li>\n
  3. Picture re-takes are scheduled for tomorrow.\u00a0 If your child missed the first picture day, then you can go to www.mylifetouch.com<\/a> to order pictures.\u00a0 Picture Day ID is HM788070Y1 \u00a0If you did not like the first pictures, you can have your child bring them back tomorrow and you don\u2019t need to fill out the order form again.<\/li>\n
