Spring conferences for elementary students will still take place on March 18 and March 19, 2024. These days will now be early release days, as opposed to March 19, 2024 following a delayed start schedule.
Middle school conferences will take place on Jan. 10 and Jan. 11, 2024. Both days will be early release days for middle school students.
