School Council 

 

We are looking forward to our next school council meeting. As we return to school and are focused on student learning goals, we invite parents to join us to talk about our school goals for the year and how parents can work with us to support student growth. The next council meeting will be held at James Short Memorial on Tuesday, November 18th at 3:45 pm. Light refreshments and childcare will be available.   

 

Parent Teacher Student-Led Conferences 

 

You are invited to attend our Parent-Teacher Student-Led Conferences on Wednesday, November 27th, from 4:30–7:00 p.m. 

Families can sign up for one of five 30-minute time slots, with up to five families per period. By spreading visits throughout the evening, we hope to give each family time to explore their child’s learning and connect meaningfully with the teacher. 

Conference sign-up will open in your PowerSchool account on November 13th at 6:00 a.m. 


Winter Clothing 

 

We have a collection of gently used and new winter clothing – coats, snow pants, boots, hats, and gloves.  If you are in need of these items, please see Shelly in the office.
