Dear Brackett Families, Welcome back! It was so exciting to see everyone after such a long time away. Thank you to everyone who is modeling patience and kindness during drop off and pick up. We are excusing tardies this week to account for navigating the snow.
Conferences are next week. Please carefully review the schedule below so your child is picked up at the correct time. If you still have not signed up for conferences, please contact your child’s teacher today.
Monday 3/2– full day 8-2:30pm Tuesday 3/3– half day 8-11:30am (bag lunch will be provided) Wednesday 3/4– half day 8-11:30am (bag lunch will be provided) Thursday 3/5– full day 8-2:30 + evening conferences 6-8pm Friday 3/6– full day 8-2:30
Next Wednesday evening, the PTO is hosting a hybrid (in person and online) Q&A with Dr. Homan regarding the override. I will be onsite as well. I hope if you have any questions, that you will attend. See below for details.
Best, Dr. Vice
