Meet and Greet & New Family Welcome
We’re excited to welcome all families and students of the 2025–2026 school year to our Back to School Meet & Greet on Tuesday, August 12, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.
This is a wonderful opportunity for students to get comfortable in their new classroom, meet their teachers face-to-face, and bring in their school supplies ahead of the first day. Families can tour the school, ask questions, and help ease those first-day jitters with a friendly, informal visit.
After our Meet & Greet on Tuesday, August 12, we invite all Kindergarten families and families new to our school to stick around for a fun and casual afternoon on the playground!
Join us from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. for a sweet treat and the chance to connect with other parents, students, and staff. We’ll have popsicles to keep everyone cool, plenty of room for the kids to run and play, and time for families to meet, mingle, and start building those all-important friendships for the school year ahead.
This relaxed play date is the perfect way to ease into the school community, ask questions, and enjoy a joyful summer afternoon together. We can’t wait to meet you!
