Back to School Bash

We hope to see you at our Back to School Bash on ThursdayAugust 22nd from 4:30-7:00 PM where you can visit your child’s classroom to meet the teacher.  New this year, we will be emailing teacher assignments to the email address we have on file.

We will have staff members located in the lobby, gym and cafeteria to assist you with information or questions about buses, forms, and other school details. 

The Back to School Bash is also a great time to sign up for the Fairhill PTA, drop off student medication and accompanying forms, and drop off lunch payments for your child's lunch account.

We will include two sessions which will allow those with more than one child to visit multiple classrooms. We will have much to share about your child’s learning this year and hope that you will be able to attend. 

Pre-ordered school supply kits will be delivered to your child’s classroom prior to the Back to School Bash. If you did not order a supply kit, you are welcomed to bring your supplies during this event. See website for grade level supplies.  

There will also be an assortment of Food Trucks in the front circle for you to enjoy some dinner or snacks after the event. Tables will be set up in the cafeteria and gym so you can relax and enjoy some good food and conversations with fellow Tigers.
