Principal’s Message It was a great week of celebrating your student’s progress. We added an additional parent/teacher conference to our schedule for N/PS/PK parents this quarter. This addition was well received and expanded our use and understanding of TSG.

While Kindergarten and Grade One parents shared their student’s learning in Student Led Conferences. It is such a gift to witness the excitement and energy our students have toward their learning. Thank you for fully participating in our conference days.

Quarter three assessments have been completed and are available for your review. There reports through Managebac have all been issues. Here is the “how to” guide
