Please see the copied email below that was sent to Grade 2 families this morning: 

Good morning Grade 2 Families, 

Progress Reports are supposed to be made available to families today.  Also, parent-teacher conferences will take place on Thursday Nov. 20th from approximately 4:30-7:30. Conference bookings are also supposed to be made available by the school office today.

I have already connected with a number of families re: your son/daughter's progress and discussed next steps at school and at home.  If I have not connected with you, and your son/daughter is progressing with difficulty, I encourage you to please come in for an interview so we can discuss your son/daughter's progress and next steps together.  If you are unable to book an interview that evening, I'd be happy to connect with you over the phone at another time.  

Thank you very much for all of your support with your son/daughter's learning and personal/spiritual growth!  

Much appreciated, 

Adam McSheffrey
