Northbrook Curriculum Night is an opportunity for parents and guardians to meet each of your child’s teachers, get to know the expectations and procedures for each class, and to ask questions to better understand your child’s school experience. Curriculum Night will take place at Northbrook Middle School. Additional information, including the agenda for the event, will be communicated soon.
Grade 6: Monday, August 30, 2021 from 6:00 - 7:30 pm
