Parent Teacher Conferences

Our Parent-Teacher Conferences were held the week of October 25-29, 2010.  Our staff worked hard to provide an avenue for parents and/or guardians to confer with teachers and staff regarding their students and how they are doing in our elementary school.  Parents not only met with teachers and staff, but were encouraged to look at student work that was displayed throughout the building. 

During this week, we also had a book fair in our media center where the theme centered on "Heros".  Thanks to the tremendous efforts of our library staff, the book fair was enjoyed by all and deemed a huge success.
Our local fire fighters shared information about our fire department and their state-wide smoke detector program, as they are providing free smoke detectors to all families.  Our fire fighters displayed one of their fire trucks in the drive in front of our elementary school which generated much interest with our students.  Families were encouraged to stop by the display table and sign up for the smoke detector program. It was very positive to have our fire department raise awareness in providing safety to our community.
