Conference Week at Desert Trails

It is wonderful to see so many families coming for Parent Conferences! Our wonderful PTO has provided a delicious dinner so teachers could catch their breath, relax, and enjoy a nice dinner.
Thank you PTO! You are generous, thoughtful, and support us all every day!

As I walked around getting great pictures of conferences it was fun to hear and see the learning taking place. The portfolios are an excellent way for parents and students to see first hand the growth that has taken place. We have such a dedicated staff!

Our 6th graders are preparing for our trip to Catalina!!! Be watching for pictures coming back from Catalina to be posted for all to enjoy!

Happy New Year!

It is great to be back to school and see our students and teachers engaged in learning. As I walk from classroom to classroom, it appears no one has missed a beat.
We have jumped right into DIBELS, Catalina Parent Night meeting, Author visit, and so much more wonderful events at Desert Trails.

Be watching for my Jan. E-news coming home this week and also information for Parent Conferences held at the end of this month!
