Big Week Ahead....
Teacher Meet & Greet
Bower staff will be outside looking to meet their new students between 3-4:30. This is a time to meet your teacher, say hello to other Bower friends, play on the playground and enjoy a popsicle. You will be able to access your child's classroom teacher in ParentVue after 4pm on the 18th.
Since we are outside and maintaining 3 feet distancing, masks are not required, but always welcome if a family prefers. We look forward to seeing everyone on the 19th, because "Together is our favorite place to be!"
