Dear Gesu Families,
Parent-teacher conferences are one of the most important ways in which the faculty of Gesu School communicates with parents. We value this opportunity to discuss your child's progress and development. K-8 conferences will take place on Wednesday, October 28 and Thursday, October 29. Grades K-3 conferences are required and will take place with your child's homeroom teacher. Grades 4-8 are optional and will be in a team setting by grade level. Please click on Parents of Students in Grades 4-8 for more information regarding conferences in these grade levels
The sign up schedule for conferences is now open in Digital Academy for all families K-8. You can also click on the links below.
