Back-to-School Event

Back-to-School Dates
Welcome to a New School Year! 
 
We invite our families to campus on Monday, August 24, before the first day of school on Tuesday, August 25, to tour classrooms, meet teachers, and become familiar with our school buildings. This event is an opportunity to learn about classroom expectations, curriculum, and school procedures while building connections with our staff.
 
Families are also encouraged to meet with their child's service providers—including representatives from the IEP Office, Related Services, and Mental Health/Behavior Support—to learn about the resources available this school year. Informational booths will also be open for families to explore campus programs and services. 
 
Interpreters
 
ASL interpreters will be available throughout the event. If you require a Spanish interpreter, or any other spoken-language interpreter, please RSVP by emailing your child's department secretary by August 14. 
 
Important Notes
 
>>  Individual Conferences: This event provides a general department introduction and is not intended for individual parent-teacher conferences.
 
>>  Questions: Your department principal will share additional details and remains your primary contact for any questions. 
 
We look forward to partnering with your family for a successful school year!
