Please do not forget that next Monday, September 14, is a teacher planning day. There will be no school for students.
We are currently in the beginning stages of planning family-teacher conferences. The dates for conferences are October 08-09. All conferences will be done remotely via Zoom. I will be working with teachers on exact times for those dates, and then as we have done the past several years, we will send out an online conference sign-up. Hopefully this will be sent out at the end of next week or the beginning of the week of September 21. Please look for another communication to come from me soon about this.
Please read these other important reminders:

Census:
Families, time is running out to complete your census. Data from the census will impact the federal funds that our community receives for the next decade for critical school programs and services, including special education, Head Start, after-school programs, classroom technology, and free and reduced-price school lunches. An undercount could put these programs at risk – especially now, we can’t afford to lose out on a single dollar. Please help our district get the funding it needs to continue providing special education, after-school programs, free and reduced-price lunches, and other important services to students and families. Fill out the 2020 Census today at 2020census.gov or by calling 844-330-2020 (English) or 844-468-2020 (Spanish).
