TEACHER'S REPORTS and INTERVIEWS COMING UP SOON
Annual 15-minute Parent meetings with Andrea are coming up within the next three weeks. This time we will have a Private lesson progress report from our teachers to discuss, if desired, as well as parent comments and suggestions. It is a very important meeting for Andrea, since she is very interested in your views about MATT and rarely has the opportunity to communicate one -on- one with parents .
An interview schedule will be ready within the next week. Please select a time suitable for you to attend.
