6th Grade Parent Night:
Wednesday, August 18th from 6 to 7:30pm
7th and 8th Grade Parent Night:
Thursday, September 9th from 6 to 7:30pm
Parent Night events are for parents only. It is your opportunity to travel through your child’s school day and meet staff members, learn about curricular outcomes, receive classroom information and experience/familiarize yourself with the middle school environment. You will begin the evening in your child’s Homebase classroom and continue to follow their class schedule. (If you are unable to be here at 6:00pm you can still jump in to your child’s schedule whenever you arrive!) In each classroom the teacher will have an approximate 10-minute time frame to introduce themselves, outline their course information, expectations and share class information. There will be three minutes of passing time built in to the schedule for you to get from one class to another.
Below are the "Parent Night Event Flyers" that will have the event’s schedule printed on them. When you get your student’s class schedule you can complete your own individual schedule for the evening – BRING THIS WITH YOU! (Reminder student schedules will be given out at the Welcome Back to School Open House and also available online beginning August 16th.)
Our staff looks forward to meeting you and sharing all of the wonderful things they have planned to support, inspire and encourage your child to strive for academic excellence during the 2021-2022 school year!
