Miss Karen's Newsletter November 12 - 15

Dear Families,
A letter was sent home on Friday regarding how to sign-up for conferences.  If you didn't receive your letter, here is the information on how to sign up for a conference.  To pick a time slot, click on this website: www.ptcfast.com/reg1.  At that link, you will be asked for your entry code, where you should enter BJ3147747.  If you do not have internet access, please call the office at 503-353-5640. 

Conferences/Report cards
Conferences will be December 4-6 and k cards will be sent home the first of December.  They are later this year for a couple of reasons.  First, we are doing trimester, second we have a new report card that is standard-based.  I will be able to go over the report with you at conferences.  I will be sending home more information about conferences.
