Parent Teacher Conferences


Please keep in mind we can do conferences all year long; we want to be available to update you on your student.   Conferences do NOT have to be on Nov 21st and 22nd
We have 400+ students in our school and it would be impossible to get everyone in on those 2 days. 
To make a conference for the 21st or 22nd you can try the following website:
otherwise please call Ms. Barcomb at 802-864-8470 for another date.

The Coupon Book Fundraiser will start soon...
Please check the website and your child's backpack for more information very soon. 
These make great gifts and it is the Student Council's only fundraiser.

Teacher Help

Speaking of gifts, if you are trying to think of that "something special" you can get for your students team or teacher, the gift of classroom supplies are always welcomed and encouraged! 
Everything from pencils to tissues and gift cards are a huge help for every classroom. 
Or maybe promise to be a chaperone at your teams dance. 
Again thanks for your never ending support.
