Miner staff will be available to to hang out with the kiddos so the parents can connect with other Miner families in the conference room. We hope to see you there!
8th Grade Graduation Picture Day - Wednesday, March 13th
Parent/Teacher Conferences are coming up on March 11th from 4:30-7:30. Your child's teacher will contact you to schedule a time for you to come in person or virtual to discuss what they have been working on at school. Remember, conferences are seen as an extension of a child's IEP meeting so the purpose is to discuss and review what your child is doing during the school day. Your child's related services team will also be available that evening should you want to meet with any of those staff members.
Staff Spotlight
Early Childhood Friend Visited the Office
Last week, we had a student in Mrs. Mueller's early childhood class take a visit to the front office to share his love for reading. Jess Nienheuser, one of our stellar speech pathologists, showed us how she is helping one of our 3 year old Miner Tigers access literacy at school. The possibilities are endless and that smile on this friend's captures the true essence of the joy that Miss Jess brings to Miner School! She is truly one of the best and we are so proud to have her a part of the Miner Family!
