PrincipalPrincipal's Message

Ms. PointerHello Einstein Families,

 

It's hard to believe Parent/Teacher conferences are right around the corner! In the next week or so you will be receiving a letter home allowing you the opportunity to select a conference appointment. We always do our best to give families their first preference. We also work very hard to give priority to families with more than one child at Einstein in scheduling back-to-back conferences. We look forward to sharing all the wonderful things your students have accomplished since we met with you in the fall!


I am also excited to share that the counselors from Redmond Middle School will be here on Tuesday, February 7, from 9:00-10:00am. They will visit the 5th and 6th grade classrooms to register current students for the 2012-13 school year. More information below

 

Have a great week!

Melissa Pointer

Principal
