Parent Conferences - Parent Conferences are scheduled for October 10th and 11th. Teachers have already sent home conference times, so if you haven’t received yours, please reach out to your child’s teacher directly. These conferences are a great opportunity to strengthen the partnership between families and teachers. As a child’s first teacher, parents play a key role in helping teachers understand their child's unique strengths and areas for improvement. Together, parents and teachers can address concerns and work on a plan for academic success. Please ensure you have your conference appointment scheduled. If you have any questions, contact Mercedes Aguilar at 760-432-2462.
