Parent Night
The schedule is:

As you can see, we have provided two classroom sessions for those families who have more than one child. However, if you have only one child, we would like to suggest that you follow this schedule.
Parking will present a challenge, so we recommend that parents walk or carpool as able, weather permitting.
