Dear Parents or Guardians:                                                                                                                    October 6, 2023

Parent Teacher Conferences are a great time for you to come into the school to talk with your student’s teachers!  Even if your student is doing “just fine” it is a good chance for you to meet the people who your child spends the majority of their day with.  We are offering conferences in person (F2F), remotely (through a zoom meeting) or by phone.  Parent Teacher Conferences are Wednesday, November 1^st in the evening and all day on the 2^nd.  If you would like to make an appointment, please call Ms. Ringer at 419-752-0011.              On the 1^st we will also be offering a Digital Empowering Night for Parents hosted by Scott Frank.  This is a free event for parents to learn about how to support and guide their teens in this digital world.  More information will be coming soon!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Thanks for all you do!
