Sports Interest Forms
Curriculum Evening September 19
The goal of the curriculum evening is that parents leave with a deeper sense of what will be going on in their child’s classroom this year. We will be hosting one evening for both campuses. All parents will meet for an opening message from the administration at the Elementary Campus chapel. Following this, parents will be invited to attend the sessions that are of interest to them.
Classroom teachers will be in their rooms hosting two sessions, back to back. Specialty teachers will be available in their designated spaces to answer any questions parents may have regarding the Music, French, PE or EAL program.
Parents with students in multiple grades will be able to attend one session and then travel to the next session, even if it is located at a different campus.
The evening will start at 6:00 pm at the Elementary Campus chapel.
The evening will conclude at 7:30 pm.
