Conferences November 11 and 12, 2009

Conferences

Conferences are coming soon. Unlike conferences at Highlands and the elementary schools, you do not have to schedule an appointment. You can come during one of the time periods and wait to talk to your child's teachers. The evening times tend to be busier than the day times, so if you can attend during the day you may not have as long of a wait. (Wednesday evening is always VERY busy!)

Here is the conference schedule:

• Wednesday, November 11 5:00 to 8:00 PM (usually busy)
  
• Thursday, November 12 8:oo to 11:00 AM
• Thursday, November 12 12:30 to 3: 30 PM
• Thursday, November 12 5:00 to 8:00 PM

If you are unable to attend conferences and you would like to schedule another time, please contact Kristy Templar at ktemplar@nvps.net or 361-3430.

End of the Term

The end of the Term is coming up on Wednesday Oct. 28. All missing work will be due that day! Please make sure you check the website www.galmish.com for dates of tests that will be coming up.

Kids that have no zero's in their core classes will participate in our "Zero Free" day. Kids will have the opportunity to celebrate their success while watching a movie, going to the computer lab and having some treats during the day.
