GROWING MINDS~BUILDING COMMUNITY~INSPIRING POSSIBILITY
Dear Peaslee Students, Families and Caregivers,
Parent/Caregiver-Teacher Conferences are just around the corner, and I invite you to sign up for a meeting with your child's teacher. These conferences are a valuable opportunity for us to collaborate, share insights, and work together to support your child's learning journey.

During this time, teachers will share updates about your child's academic progress, classroom experiences, strengths, and areas for continued growth. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, and discuss ways we can work together to support your child's success.

We believe that a strong partnership between home and school plays an important role in helping every child thrive. Your participation and perspective are valued, and we look forward to connecting with you!

On November 3rd at 3:00 PM, teachers will send an email via ParentSquare with sign-up details for upcoming conferences on November 17th and November 19th. Please note that both conference dates will be early dismissal days at 12:05 PM. 


Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to seeing you!
​
Dr. Mary Coakley, Principal
