Parent Night is coming up! It will be held November 6. We will have student-led conferences that night AND..wait for it...student vs faculty/parent basketball game. Dinner will be served to all student-led conference participants. The game is open to all students, but only the first 40 who hand in their permission slips will be allowed to play. Have an awesome week!
Please note this is a tentative list of items I hope to cover this week. The BEST way to know exactly what is happening in English is by checking your student's planner nightly.
Sincerely,
Monday
