We look forward to meeting with you on Wednesday, November 9, which is Report Card Pick-Up Day in all CPS elementary schools. This is an important opportunity for teachers and parents to discuss student progress. All families should plan to attend.

To ensure each family receives its allotted time, we use an online scheduling system. Please sign up for meeting(s) with your child's teacher(s) today. The online sign-up will remain open through Tuesday, November 8 at 12:00 p.m.

There is no school for students on Report Card Pick-Up Day.

Sign up online now at burley.youcanbook.me. You will sign up for one 10-minute slot for each meeting. Please leave 10-20 minutes between appointments and arrive promptly to help us stay on schedule.

Grade 6 parents: Schedule only with your child's homeroom teacher. During that time, you will meet with both teachers.

Doors open at 5pm this year so you can get home to cheer on the Cubs after the Fun Fair! There is additional detail in your email, but here are some important reminders:
