Parent/Teacher Conferences will be Tuesday, February 13, 2016, from 3:30 PM – 8:00 PM.

If you wish to meet with Ms. Dorsey, I stay at the school almost every day Tues-Friday until at least 4 pm.  For a before-school meeting, please arrange that ahead since we teachers are often out of the classroom preparing materials for the day.
