Conferences!

Just a quick reminder that tonight starts our first round of Parent/Teacher conferences! Students are welcome (and encouraged) to join. If you haven't scheduled a conference, I have open spots on both Monday and Tuesday - or if you need to switch times just shoot me an email (ldeacon@pps.net).
