Parent/Teacher Conferences

- Thank you to all the parents for all of your emails today after our Virtual Ceremony, you all had me in tears.  Thank you all for trusting me with your most precious jewels, I was extremely emotional today because I have taken care of and loved your children as if they were my own.  This class was extra special to me especially because I had most of the children for two years in a row, I am going to miss them all greatly. I appreciate your kind words and support!

- For the parents that I will be meeting through Zoom tomorrow the ID# is 297 616 2880 and the Password# is 6qRLAZ.  Look forward to speaking to you all.

I will post the ID and Password for Virtual Ceremony in the morning. 

-  Please email me at msrodriguezolqm@gmail.com to let me know what time is best for you on Friday June 19th or Monday June 22nd to meet with me to discuss your child's progress.  In the email let me know the time and if you prefer to meet through Zoom or you prefer a phone conference.

- Remember if you have a tuition balance and have not made arrangements with Mr. Woods your child will not be able to participate tomorrow and I will not be able to meet with you for a conference. 

I want to thank everyone for all your help throughout this school year and for partnering with me during our online learning sessions so that your children continued to learn.  Keep reviewing with the children at least 20 minutes a day to help them retain everything they have learned so they can walk into Kindergarten confident, prepared and ready to go!

Have a Blessed and Safe Summer!
