Thank you for a wonderful conference week!  The time and preparation does not go unnoticed.  We appreciate the extra effort you gave to making each conference personal to the family and child.  Please reach out to us if you have follow-up parent questions/concerns we can help support. It will be a busy week with Kendra & Nik on campus, Red Ribbon Week, and catching up from a week of early release.  Take time to review your schedule with students on Monday.  Schedule changes (along with dress up days and the anticipation of Halloween) can lead to challenges with student regulation in the classroom.  Be fully planned for the day, clear and consistent with expectation, and positive in reinforcing desired behaviors.  Our students look to you for structure and consistency. Let's make it a great week!
