Back to School Night

  • Back to School Night Focus:

Please remember that Back to School Night is a time for teachers to introduce themselves to you, explain what your children will learn, how the classroom works, and what to expect during the year.

As the periods are only 10 minutes long, if you have individual questions or concerns about your child, it is best to set up an appointment with the teacher for a meeting.

  • Class Periods Tonight:

1st Period       6:30 – 6:40 pm�2nd Period     6:45 – 6:55 pm�3rd Period      7:00 – 7:10 pm�4th Period      7:15 – 7:25 pm�5th Period      7:30 – 7:40 pm�6th Period      7:45 – 7:55 pm
