Principal's Note Conferences start tonight. Please be mindful that each conference is only 20 minutes long and that another family is scheduled right after you.
I would like to remind parents that students go outside almost everyday. We have children coming to school without the proper clothing for cold weather and snow. Minnesota weather can change very quickly, as we have experienced the last few weeks. We care about your children and want them to be happy and comfortable playing outside. Don't forget to label everything!
