Kindergarten Family Welcome Night

In order to adhere to safety protocols, please join us during the time below that corresponds with your child’s last name.  We will also only be permitting one or two parents with every student to minimize the number of people in our building.  There will be temperature checks at the door and face coverings will be required.

Drive Thru Meet the Teacher and Materials Pick Up (1st-5th Grade)

When:  Thursday, August 13th from 2:30-5:30

You’ll drive up in our car rider line and you will be directed to meet your child’s teacher and receive a packet of materials from them that your child will need as they begin this school year with remote learning.

Kindergarten and 1st Grade Remote Learning Training

We know how important it is to help our kindergarteners and first graders to make a connection with their teacher, and for them and their parents/caregivers to have a chance to get comfortable using the Chromebook and Google Classroom for remote learning.

So, for our Kindergarten and first grade students, we will be offering a Remote Learning Training with your child’s teacher.  This will take place during the first 3 days of school, August 17-19.  If your child is in Kindergarten or first grade, your child’s teacher will set up an appointment to have each child come in to school (along with one or two parents/caregivers) to be trained for remote learning.  This will last about one hour.
