HOUSEKEEPING
Dear Parents,

Just a reminder that our Open House will  take place this evening from 6:15 - 7:30pm.  This will be a chance for us to meet. I will go over some of the expectations and discuss possible high school options with you.  Please note that this is not an opportunity to ask "How is my child doing?", and discuss your child's progress. Once I have spent enough classroom time with your child, I will be contacting you if there are any areas of significant difficulty or concern.  We will have a better chance of discussing your child's process during the parent-teacher interviews on November 23rd and 24th, subsequent to your child's Term 1 Progress Report coming home that week. I look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,

Mr. Mizrahi
