Shahala Families,
Please take a look below for important messages and updates, as well as information on events happening in the coming weeks.
Next Week: Early Release Days & Spring Conferences
Next Week: Early Release Days & Spring Conferences
Spring conferences are just around the corner! We have two sessions scheduled for Thursday, March 5th: 2:00–4:00 PM and 5:00–7:00 PM. They will be “conferences in the round”, the same open format as the conferences held in the Fall.
Due to limited time, we will be prioritizing conferences for students where there are specific academic or behavioral concerns. Teachers will reach out directly to invite those families to schedule a time. We appreciate your understanding as we work to support our students and make the most of the time available.
That said, please know that we are always here to partner with you. If you have a concern about your student or would like to meet with a teacher, we absolutely want to hear from you. Please feel free to attend either conference session to connect with the teacher(s) where concerns exist.
We value our partnership with you and look forward to working together to support your student.
