Back to School Night (BTSN)
Parents/Guardians of grade 2-5 students are encouraged to join us - meet your child's teacher(s), and learn about the year ahead of us. This is designed to be a parent's only event, although we do plan to offer limited supervision on the playground for school aged children if your require it. Students should not plan to attend the presentations with their parents.
There are two parts to Back to School Night.
Part 1: Parent Info Night (hosted by Mrs. Hladun)
Join us in the MPR from 5:30-5:50 pm. Come learn about our site priorities and goals for the year!
Part 2: Classroom Visits (hosted by LCES Teachers)
There will be two identical presentations in each classroom so that you can meet more than one teacher. Please report directly to your child's classroom for presentation 1 or 2.
~ presentation 1 from 6-6:35 pm (note that 5th grade will be in the MPR)
~ presentation 2 from 6:40-7:15 pm (note that 5th grade will be in the MPR)
Each teacher has his/her own unique presentation style. Your teacher may reach out to you with more details about the format of their presentation.
The following classrooms will be open from 5:50-6:45 for you to visit:
~ Mrs. Brothers' and Mrs. Patterson's science classrooms
