Thank you for attending our parent teacher conferences! We hope that that these meetings helped you understand what your child experiences and learns at school, and what you can do to support them, alongside his/her teacher. If you were unable to attend, you're welcome to schedule a meeting with teachers and/or grade teams by emailing our guidance counselors whose information you can find on the Staff Emails page.
Furthermore, we would like to express great thanks to Student Council and the students who helped organize and support this day. We couldn't have done it without you!
Next parent teacher conferences will occur on March 19 and 20.

Student Council gives students the opportunity to develop leadership by organizing and carrying out school activities and service projects alongside peers and an advisor. In addition to planning events that contribute to school spirit and community welfare, the Student Council is the voice of the student body. They help share student ideas, interests and concerns with the school-wide community.
Meetings are based upon parliamentary procedures wherein ideas are presented, voted upon, and confirmed by the student body president. Any student that is interested in leadership, organizational behavior, event planning or becoming more involved in the school are welcome to visit and contact Ms. Flannery via email or in Rm. 452.
