🗣STUDENT-LED CONFERENCES are coming to Cartmell next week!
Tuesday, April 28
4:00-6:00 pm
This event is designed as "open house style" so families can attend any time between 4:00 and 6:00. There are no scheduled times for individual parent-teacher conferences--this is simply an opportunity for your child to share their Leadership Binder and highlight their school year with you.
Related Arts teachers will be showcasing their specials content with an activity in each of those locations, and the Conservation Club will be presenting information about their ongoing project.
Hope to see you there!

😊THANK YOU, MS. WILSON! We are so blessed at Cartmell to have such an amazing assistant principal. She is always there and willing to talk through any situation that you may have with students and staff. Our students are lucky to have someone as fair and consistent as Ms. Wilson.
