Thank you to Mrs. Nicole Edwards for reading to the Oden Preschool students and introducing them to the AR store!
Oden Parents,
We are looking forward to seeing you tonight at parent/teacher conferences. Teachers have report cards, reading levels, act aspire results and AMI DAY handouts to give to you. The AMI DAY handout needs put up in a safe place in case we have to pivot instruction. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher or me.
