March 17 - Happy St. Patrick's Day

 

Thanks for making to school the other - those were some dicey roads

Hello all, 

I hope conferences are going well for you and your students. Thank you for taking the time to meet with parents and students to discuss their learning and experiences at PA. Conferences provide some great insights for us (and parents), opportunities to connect with parents, and a chance to showcase our great work; despite the interruption to our schedule.
