October 20 Newsletter

10-20-08

Dear Parents,
I hope all of you had a great long weekend. It is almost time for the first quarter of school to end. I can’t believe how fast the time goes. I sent a bright green sheet home last week for you to select your top 2 preferred parent/teacher conference times. Please return those by Wednesday, October 22. I will be scheduling my own conferences this year. Our staff will meet Thursday after school in order to try to schedule families as close together as possible. I encourage everyone to make every effort to schedule one conference per child. I only have so many available time slots and this really helps.
I also am writing to let you know that I now have a blog where I will be posting important dates. You can get there by putting http://www.blogger.com in the address bar of your computer. Also, my email address is moralesc@billings.k12.mt.us. Please feel free to contact me anytime. If you would like to share your email address with me, I would really appreciate it. It’s easy for me to answer emails throughout the day or at home in the evening.

Oct. 20: Fire Prevention Assembly @ 9:15am for K-4 students
