MES Families-
Thank you to all parents that scheduled a conference, and met with your child's teacher this month for Parent/Teacher Conferences. We hope you found this a good use of your time, and an opportunity for you to collaborate with your child's teacher, discuss their progress and how together we can continue to help them grow. Please feel free to email or call your child's teacher during the rest of the school year if you need to further talk with them about how your child is doing at school or ways that you can help them at home. A child's success in school is increased when both school and home work together-thanks for working with us to grow students!
