Parents, guardians, and community members of Conn Magnet Elementary School of Entrepreneurial Design, I would like to invite you to my second "Conn ES Principal & Parent Coffee Chat" where we will meet to chat about topics that are important to you.  Our first one was held today and it was a very invigorating, open, honest chat with members of our parent community.  Our next one will be held on April 25, from 9:15 am - 10:00 am in the Media Center. Feel free to bring your favorite morning Cup O' Joe (coffee) or hot tea or water.  In order to help me focus the conversation, please complete the form 7 days prior (by April 18).  Here is the link https://forms.gle/b2J9RJ7LLqTYYdiL6.

Single Subject Acceleration Parent Notice

Single Subject Acceleration is the practice of assigning a student to a higher-grade level than is typical, given the student's age, for the purpose of providing access to appropriately challenging learning opportunities in either Language Arts or Mathematics. The testing application window is March 17-28 and will be posted online on Ms. Hanley's AIG website. It will go live March 17. The testing window is April 11-25th.
