Parent/teacher conferences are coming up next week. We will hold two nights of conferences and they will be Wednesday November 2nd and Thursday November 3rd. Conferences will be from 5-8 PM. These are conducted on a drop-in basis so you do not need to schedule a time to meet with teachers. We just ask that each parent conference be kept to about 5 minutes in length. For those parents who may need more time to conference it is best to schedule either a meeting or a phone call with the teacher. Progress reports were sent home earlier and already grades may have shifted up or down. A reminder that there are still about 11 weeks left in this semester with our second progress report being sent home in early December. There will be no school on Friday November 4th. Our sports teams continue to do well. Football will be in the post season play with a game scheduled for Friday November 28th. Volleyball will host a state playoff match on Saturday October 29th and girls soccer may qualify for the post season after completing their regular season on Tuesday October 25th. Cross country district meet will be on Wednesday October 26th and we will see if we have qualifiers for the state meet on that date. Our Robotics Team begins their competitive season soon, competing on upcoming weekends in the Hillsboro area. It's a very busy time of year, the next two weeks, as we close out October and turn to November. It's just wonderful that so many of our students get the opportunity to participate in post season sports.
