Announcements

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held via Zoom Conferencing on October 8-9. You will receive from your child/ren’s homeroom teachers their personal Zoom link and a scheduled 15-minute time slot. If you get onto the Zoom link a few minutes before your scheduled time, you will be able to wait in the “waiting room” until your scheduled start time. If you are using a personal device (tablet or phone), the Zoom app will need to be downloaded. If you are using a laptop or similar, you should be able to access through your browser.
