Greetings!
I hope that you are enjoying the holiday weekend.
Thanks to everyone for helping to create such a worthwhile round of family conferences. It seems that a great deal was accomplished and I know I speak for all of the faculty when I tell you how much we appreciate the dedication of our Camelot parents.
For those who didn’t get a parent survey in conference we have sent them home in the mail and Wendy also has extra copies in the office. Please either return them in the mail or in the collection envelope by the front door. I know that we are all very busy but we’d greatly appreciate it if you could find the time sometime in the next week to share your thoughts with us.
