Pre-K - Grade 8 SPRING CONFERENCES
There has been a slight adjustment to the spring conference days for Pre-K-Grade 8. Students will have an early dismissal on all three days, Tuesday, 3/26-Thursday, 3/28. The district calendar shows a full day of school on Tuesday, 3/26. However, this has been changed to an early dismissal to accommodate more families for conferences.
Cons/MHHS school is piloting a 5th Grade Peer Leadership program this school year. Fifth graders are chosen to be part of the team based upon their willingness to take on leadership roles throughout the school. One aspect of this program involves training these students to become peer mentors for our younger students by serving as ambassadors/role models for everyone in the school. As part of their responsibilities, these students initiate a Check In - Check Out Peer Mentorship relationship with kindergarteners.
As a reminder, per the school calendar, there will be no school from February 16th to February 20th for President's Day and professional development.
