***Important update on parent-teacher conference scheduling
Due to an update performed by our Student Information System this weekend, any scheduled conferences in the system were deleted. The process for teachers to set up blocks of time for their availability also has to be redone. We apologize for any convenience, and want you to know that this setback was not in our control to postpone.
Please wait to reschedule with teachers until tomorrow (Jan. 24) after 12 noon so they can rebuild their schedules. We look forward to meeting with many parents over Thursday evening & Friday morning. Again, we're sorry for the inconvenience and are working with Synergy to solve the problems created by this update.
