Parent Conferences

It's that time of year when we have the opportunity to get together again and share your child's progress. It will be a time to discuss progress and not a time to talk about your child's placement for next year. Mr. Fosher handles all placement concerns, and you are more than welcome to either write it down or schedule an appointment with him.

Ms. Winglass has two solo weeks of teaching coming up in April to fulfill her internship; therefore I am free to meet with you other days and times besides Wednesday, April 9 and 16. For those of you who may be coming into the classroom to volunteer in April, I would be happy to meet with you 20 minutes before or after your scheduled time. I am not available either April 8 or April 14 but any of the other days from 8-3 would work for me. Please e-mail me back with some dates and times that might work for you and I will get back to you ASAP. 

Thank you,

Deb (dfennessy@sau16.org)
