Next week we will have our parent teacher conferences on 10/15  from 4 - 8pm.  We are prioritizing students with Ds and Fs.

You may come in to South or meet via google meets. If your student does not have a D or F and you would like feedback please email the teacher directly and they will reach out to you.

Have a great weekend.

Go Ravens!
