Melissa: Mom, I’ve got something for you.

Mom: Ok.

Melissa: Here you go.

Mom: Oh, look Melissa!

Melissa: What? What is it?

Mom: This says, “Our first parent-teacher conferences are in 2 weeks. School will let out early to allow teachers time to meet with all of our families.  Please let me know which of the days and times available are best for you. Return the slip at the bottom of this letter with your preferred times marked. Please call me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Mrs. Murphy.”
