Attendance
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Every time families come into our building, you communicate to your child that education is important. THANK YOU to all the families who came and visited with your child's teacher at parent/teacher conferences! We had nearly 70% of families in attendance, which is even more than last year! One of our building goals is increased family communication to better support our students, so we appreciate your support and involvement in your child's education.

First Quarter House Champion
Amistad members celebrated last week with a Backyard BBQ, complete with hot dogs, chips, drinks, and even s'mores! They played games and enjoyed the nice weather with their team. It was a GREAT day! A special thank you to our parent volunteers who helped make the reward happen.

Please call our office at 568-4283 if you have any questions about these procedures.
