Back to School Events:

As we prepare to welcome students back for the new school year, we encourage all families to take an active role in the return-to-school experience. Please make time to:

Meet your child’s classroom teacher to build a strong home-school connection from the start.
Take a tour of the campus to help your student feel comfortable and confident on day one.
For secondary students (grades 6–12): Attend middle or high school orientation to learn about schedules, expectations, and opportunities for involvement.

Refer to the dates and times listed below for specific events at your school. We look forward to seeing you soon and partnering for a great year ahead!
