This event gives families a chance to visit campus before the first day of school, meet their child's teachers, tour classrooms, and get familiar with the school building. Families will also learn about classroom expectations, curriculum, and procedures, and begin building strong connections with school staff. Booths will be available for families to explore programs and services offered this year.
In addition, families will have the opportunity to meet their child's service providers—such as those from the IEP Office, Related Services, and Mental Health/Behavior Support—to learn more about the resources available.
Each campus will follow its own schedule for the day. ASL interpreters will be available throughout the event.
Your child's department principal will share additional details and be your main contact for questions.
Please note: This event is not intended for individual parent conferences.
