We were so delighted to see you all at CONFERENCES.  It is a scheduled time when we can meet and work together to make sure your children will become the best they can be, but do know that if you ever have a concern or question or just want to talk we are always available.  That is one of the things that makes our school different.  We are all working together in a partnership for your children.
