BE INVOLVED AND INFORMED ABOUT YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION!
Please allow our staff to welcome you into your child’s classroom!
You are cordially invited to attend the Julian Curtiss Magnet School’s annual OPEN HOUSE meeting on Thursday, September 12 at 6:30 p.m.
Open House gives you the opportunity to visit your child’s classroom, meet teachers, and receive important information about the instructional program. Open House is really the beginning of the relationship between home and school and it is important for parents to attend! Since the purpose of the Open House is to give general information to ALL parents, teachers will not be able to answer specific questions about your child’s progress. Such individual questions are best handled at parent/teacher conferences, which are scheduled for December, or another date, which you can arrange with the teacher. We would really love to have full attendance of our families this year. We will be providing babysitting for children over the age of 4 for those families that need it. Due to limited space, we ask that you use the babysitting service only if you are unable to make other arrangements. You must RSVP by Tuesday, September 10th in order to use babysitting by using the form linked below:
The schedule for Open House is as follows:
6:30 -7:00 p.m. Visits to P.E., Art, Music, Library Learning Commons, ESL, World Languages, Reading, Resource Rooms, and other Special Education staff.
Classroom teachers (Homerooms) will not be available until 7:00 pm. Rooms will be closed until that time. Specialists and Essentialists can also be visited during the hours below.
7:00 - 7:30 p.m. Grades 3, 4, and 5 classroom visits, ESL and ALP for grades K, 1, and 2
7:35 - 8:05 p.m. Grades K, 1 and 2 classroom visits, ALP and ESL for grades 3, 4, and 5
There will be refreshments in the cafe throughout the evening provided by the PTA.
We hope that you will join us at Julian Curtiss on September 12th!

Culture Within Us - The Inside Out Project
Our goal is to capture images that reflect the diversity of our Julian Curtiss community. In order to do this, we need permission for the images to be used as part of the project. Below is a link to a release that needs to be signed in order for children to participate. One form needs to be completed for each child. Please click below to print a copy of the form and return to your child's teacher by Friday, September 13th. Forms will also be available at Open House.
We look forward to sharing the unique and wonderful character of Julian Curtiss with the world!
