During your child's STEAM activity October 2-8, Mrs. Harris is going to be working on a special animation project with the first grade students. She will need some extra hands to help the children animate his/her weather forecast. If you would be willing to volunteer any days this week from 10:45 to 12:05, she could use some extra hands. You will mainly be helping first graders type and navigate the screen to select specific objects for his/her animation. If you have attended the volunteer training and would be willing to help, please email Angela Harris at aharris@oconeeschools.org. Let her know what day or days you would be willing to come!

You should've received a google doc to sign up for Fall Conferences. I will be scheduling them throughout the school day, after school, and on the parent/teacher conference day. I am going to try something new this year. I want to have your child come to the conference with you this year. I am wanting to implement student led conferences. This first time that we meet, your child may need a lot of prompting and support with leading the conference. I really want your child to learn to take ownership for their own learning. I look forward to meeting with you all!
