On October 27 we will have our fall parent/teacher conferences. This is already scheduled as an 11:30 a.m. dismissal day. Conferences will be held via Zoom as in the previous two years. The middle school will schedule conferences in the morning from 8:45 to 11:45 a.m., as well as the afternoon and evening from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. Middle school students will still attend school for the half day and follow an alternative program for the day. All other grades will schedule conferences from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. All conferences are scheduled for 10 minutes. (If you need more time to discuss your child with their teacher, kindly arrange for a meeting on another day.)
We are looking forward to all things fall—the changing leaves, the cool, crisp air, and the smell of pumpkin spice—but most importantly, Oktoberfest! Join us for a day filled with festivities on Saturday, October 22 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It will include all of the fun from our former harvest festival and more!
Why not extend the fun? Our Oktoberfest dinner on Saturday, October 29 will include music, authentic and delicious German food, live music, a raffle, and more! The proceeds from these festivities will help support our school. Want to know how you can help?

We greatly appreciate your help and support!
