Elementary Update – November 22nd
Sandy Sheppard, Elementary School Principal
Dear all,
Thank you to all the parents who attended our Parent/Teacher conferences. I am sure you found the opportunity to meet with your child’s teachers valuable. The next report card goes home on the 7th of February. Please remember you do not have to wait for conferences to speak to a teacher about your child’s progress. You can make appointments via the Elementary School office. Upcoming we have concerts, sports fun and holiday cheer.
Have a great weekend.
Ms Sandy Sheppard
