We have finished three weeks of middle school, but as a parent, I still have questions. What is my next step?
Our teachers will host a night to answer all of your questions! Curriculum Night is Thursday, August 28th. Begin the evening at 6:00 in your child's homeroom class. From there, you will receive directions on how to follow your child's schedule to hear from each of his or her four content area teachers and two connections teachers. Each stop will teach you something about the school as a whole, like how to use Google Classroom or Parent Square, Promotion Requirements, or Grading Procedures. You will also learn about each teacher's expectations and roadmap for a successful school year. It is a fast-paced night filled with lots of information. We would love to see all of you there!
