Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to attend parent-teacher conferences. It is always so nice to see you all. Conferences are such an important part of building strong partnerships between home and school, and we truly value the opportunity to connect with you about your child’s progress, strengths, and future goals.

I am so grateful for our AMAZING teachers and I know they appreciate your engagement, thoughtful questions, and ongoing support. When families and schools work together, it has a powerful impact on student learning and well-being. This is truly what makes Ambrose such a special place.

We hope you found the conferences informative and that they provided helpful insights into your child’s growth both academically and socially.

Best,
Mrs. Phelan

Important Reminders

Pets on School Grounds
For the safety and comfort of all students, dogs are not permitted on school property. We understand that many children are fearful of dogs, so we kindly ask that you refrain from bringing pets during arrival and dismissal. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
Lost and Found
To help us return lost belongings to their rightful owners, please be sure to label all of your child’s items with their full name. Last year, we donated many gently used items—beautiful coats, sweatshirts, and sweaters—to ENKA simply because they were unclaimed. We’d much rather return them to you! Please note that all items will be donated at the end of each month.
Thank you for your help! 😊
