To all:
We have another busy week ahead of us; Parent/Teacher Conferences, COTA Day, Home vs.
- TUESDAY - Ram Band Study Tables - CANCELLED THIS WEEK: Parent/Teacher Conferences take precedence over study tables. Don't let your studies go as we begin the 2nd nine weeks!!!
- TUESDAY EVENING - Parent/Teacher Conferences: If you would like to schedule a conference with Mr. Boyd Tressler or myself, please call Mrs. Gibson in the main office (417-5100). Several of you have emailed me individually and I haven't replied yet because of this notice today. All requests are run through the main office so they can track our conferences. If you just want to stop by to say hello and check in, please feel free.

- THURSDAY EVENING - Parent/Teacher Conferences: Same information as before. Please make an attempt to schedule conferences before 6PM. If a conflict arises between a conference and our normal Thursday evening activities, just let me know so I can mark the attendance sheet accordingly.
