Message from Dr. Breuder:
As we head into this busy and exciting time of year, there is a lot happening at school! A friendly reminder to please sign up for fall conferences if you haven’t already. Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, celebrate growth, and partner in supporting their learning. Our Book Fair is also coming up, and we look forward to sharing the excitement of reading with our students and families!
Please remember that there will be no school November 23–27 for conferences and for the Thanksgiving holiday.
A special thank-you to our amazing PTSA for organizing the ESTEM Quest! We are grateful for the time, creativity, and energy our PTSA volunteers bring to our school community. These experiences make learning fun, engaging, and memorable for our students.
Finally, we are excited to welcome prospective families to our upcoming school tours. If you know a family who is interested in learning more about our school, please share these dates:
- December 3 at 6:00 p.m.
- December 10 at 9:45 a.m.
- January 14 at 9:45 a.m.
Thank you for your continued partnership, support, and enthusiasm. I am grateful to be part of such a wonderful school community.
Fall Conferences
Fall conferences are coming up, and we want to make sure every family has an opportunity to connect with their child’s teacher(s).
- Middle school families: Please be sure to sign up for a time to attend an arena conference. Middle school students are welcome to attend with their families, but their participation is not required.

- K–5 families: Classroom teachers have sent out conference schedules and sign-up information directly. Please make sure to sign up for a conference time so we can partner together to celebrate your child’s growth, discuss their learning, and identify ways to support their continued success. We look forward to connecting with you!
Message from Mr. Zetterberg:
Book Fair: This year during parent-teacher conferences, the library will be hosting a book fair fundraiser with Secret Garden Books. Students will not bring cash to school or shop during school hours, but instead, parents and families may visit around your scheduled conference times. This is a great opportunity to support your child’s reading development, to support our school library, and to support a local bookseller. We look forward to seeing you there!
- Thursday, November 19 from 4:00-8:00pm
- Monday, November 23 from 8:00-5:30pm
- Tuesday, November 24 from 8:00-5:00pm
