Teacher/Parent Conference will be held on Thursday, October 29th, 9am-4:30pm. A  sign up sheet for the conference will be posted on the counter near the school’s  entrance door. The conference will last 20-30 minutes for each family, and can be held  in-person or on Zoom depending on your preference.  

Halloween Party will be held on Friday, October 30th. We would like to ask you to bring  some Halloween fun items for the party, e.g., candy, cookies, gifts, or other items.
