Back to School Night

b2sn

We're excited to announce our upcoming Back-to-School Night on September 19th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. This special event is a wonderful opportunity to meet your child's teachers, learn about our curriculum and expectations, and ask any questions you may have.

We'll have a brief presentation followed by classroom visits where you can get a firsthand look at your child's learning environment. There will be two identical sessions to accommodate families with students in different grade levels. Specialists will be located in the lobby at tables throughout the evening and also help to direct families to classrooms

We hope to see you there!
