Parent/Teacher Conferences

Our Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on October 9th, 10th, & 16th.  All conferences will be in-person at Locust Corner Elementary School in your child's classroom.  To register for a conference time, please use the following link: https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/LCE. Scheduling begins on Friday, Sept. 26th at 12PM.  If you are unable to meet in-person, please contact your child's teacher to set up a virtual conference online. Your child's teacher will then send you a link to join the conference virtually through Google Meet.  If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher or our school office.  

THANK YOU!

Your love, support, and involvement make such a positive impact on our school community.

We are also thrilled to share that our recent fundraiser brought in an amazing $7,732.50! Your generosity directly supports our students by helping fund student incentives, playground equipment, classroom materials, and other school initiatives that make Locust Corner Elementary such a special place to learn and grow. Thank you for your continued support and for helping our school community shine!
