We’ll share about our literacy programming, offer ideas and resources to support literacy development at home, and engage those interested in our school’s new Action Plan. Teachers will also use this time to share what your child's day looks like in their classroom.

You will leave with a strong understanding of how we will partner together to raise amazing students and citizens.
