Welcome Coffee – September
Parents are encouraged to drop off their children on the first day of school, stay for coffee and treats, and chat with one another and the principal. It is a good time to establish carpools, sign up for PTF and other parent activities, and to ask those last few questions about the school year. Coffee is hosted by Union Presbyterian Church.

Student Led Conferences (Grades 4-6) – November
Students meet with their parents to inform them about their progress in class. A very extensive evaluation of their work (with many forms for guidance) is completed prior to the conference so that the students can present their best work and can discuss with their parents where they need to improve. Teachers are available for discussions after the student’s meeting. Appointment times are established during the first week of November.
