Dear Parents and Guardians, We hope you are making the most of the last days of summer! As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we would like to share a few important dates and reminders. Our Back-to-School Open House will be held Monday, August 17. This is a great opportunity to meet your child's teacher, see the classroom, bring school supplies and extra items, take a few pictures, and ask questions before the first day of school. Bringing supplies to Open House can help make the first day a little smoother for everyone.

Students will have the opportunity to: Pick up their class schedules and locker assignments Meet with their class advisor.
