Picture day is on Wednesday October 12. Your student will go with their class to get their photo taken. There are no group or class photos this year due to Dorian Studios covid policies. They will be printing a composite of the individual photos taken on picture and retake day. There is no charge for those class composite photos.

Showcase of Learning is Thursday October 13 5:30 - 6:30 pm.

Families are invited to come and learn all about their student's learning and success.

In the classrooms each teacher will be sharing information regarding what students are learning, showcase some student work and let you know how you can support your student's success.

In the cafeteria there will be information tables setup. There will be information about Garfield and our Title One, academic and social-emotional resources and supports, and volunteer sign-ups.

Agenda:

5:30 - 5:45 pm Rotation One

5:50 - 6:05 pm Rotation Two

6:10 - 6:30 pm Rotation Three

Parents are invited to visit classrooms, art studio, library, music room and the gym, special services classrooms, and the cafeteria during these rotations. The specialists, special services, and cafeteria will be open house and available throughout the entire event with no set presentation times. Teachers will begin presenting at the start time of each rotation.

Your family has a rich heritage to pass on to your children. Stories, chants, rhymes, poems, sayings, and songs from your childhood are an important part of their heritage. Sharing these with your children will help them build a strong foundation in their first language, which will make it easier to learn English at school.
