EC and Grade 1- 5 Parent Teacher Conferences provide the opportunity to connect with teachers to gain insight into your child’s progress so far.

The individual schedules were shared with parents earlier.  We ask that you plan for traffic and parking as adhering to the the 15 minute scheduled time slots is important to keep the conferences on track.
