Can you believe it is already September? Time is flying by! We are excited to welcome families into our classrooms for the Open House on September 6th. We ask parents to come without the children so teachers can give their full attention to parents. Parents will be able to sign up for a session with their child’s teacher at either of these times: 5:00 - 5:45 p.m. or 6:00 - 6:45 p.m. Scroll down to find the sign-up links under the "Reminder" section of our Tiger Home Website. Have a great week!
