Parent Conferences � Thursday, November 13 has been reserved for parent conferences.  I am attaching the conference form to this email.  You may print out the form and return it to me with your preferences, or you may simply send me an email with the needed information.  Once I begin to schedule appointments, I will set up a schedule on the class website for your reference.
