GOK Weekly News
Week of October 7, 2024
Hello Georgia O'Keeffe Families,
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held Wednesday, October 9th and Thursday, October 10th. This year, APS’s academic calendar has switched back to trimesters, from last year’s quarterly system. As such, grades will not be available until November 25th. This will directly influence the SBPRs your child will receive during conferences. Since the SBPR still reflects quarters instead of trimesters, your child will not have grades for this conference. Instead, your child's teacher will review goals, assessment data, and additional information with you. Please make sure to attend your child's scheduled conference, so we can continue to support your child together. Thank you!
Please make sure to check the Lost and Found when you come in for parent conferences. Thanks!!
Have a great week!
Respectfully,
Cindy Gaillour, Principal, gaillour@aps.edu
and
Kristina Anderson, Assistant Principal, kristina.anderson@aps.edu
