Good evening, this is Mr. Byland with a couple of announcements. For those attending the DC trip, remember that your second deposit is due by Monday if you have not already submitted it. Also, our attempt at setting up scheduled parent conferences did not work. If you would like to have a specific meeting with a specific teacher, please email the teacher. Otherwise, we will be doing it as we have in the past where parents just drop by when they can. Remember that you do not have to attend, but we love seeing you.
Thanks and as always, GO PANTHERS!
