We ask that you make an appointment with teachers for a conference so that there is no overlap of families for certain times. If you are interested in having a conference for your child, you can contact (call or email) a teacher and set up a meeting either in person, through Zoom, or over the phone.

Important Transportation Update: Due to bus driver illness and a COVID related quarantine, bus 188 (the cat bus for those in the elementary school) will not run tomorrow (11/23/21) in the morning or the afternoon. In an attempt to avoid this inconvenience moving forward we are reducing the number of buses we run each day and will eliminate two of our runs. We will share the details of this bus run consolidation tomorrow and will implement new runs on Monday, November 29. At that time we will no longer be running buses 188 and 184. Students riding those buses will be reassigned to other buses and we will share those details directly with the families involved.
