If you have questions please know that staff will return at least a week prior to your child's first day. They will be in various professional development meetings, setting up the classroom and planning for the return of students. One task will be to reach out to you and to share a little bit about the plans for the start of the year. Any open house sessions, any list of needed items (don't forget a change of clothes) and to discuss the communication plan for the year. We honor you as the expert on your child's interests and dislikes so please start thinking of some of those things that we might need to know. Even if we worked with your child last year there may be something new that happened this summer. We'd like to know whatever you have to share with us.
