Intro to 3D Art students board game project!
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 10th in the Cafeteria from 3:30-7:00 PM. Parents can come to the Café during that time to meet with their students’ teachers. No appointment is necessary, as conferences are held on a drop-in basis. Individual meetings will be conducted every 5 minutes, as indicated by the bell system in the Café. Parents anticipating the need for more extensive communication with a particular instructor are encouraged to contact the teacher directly to set up an appointment outside of conferences.
We have so many dedicated teachers at Assumption, and we are looking for parents to provide snacks and drinks for them to enjoy during the conferences. Thanks so much for your help and support of our teachers through the Knight Network parent organization! We very much appreciate all your support throughout the year!
