We invite you to join us for Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 17, from 5:30–6:45 p.m. for our 1st–5th grade families.

Curriculum Night is an opportunity to learn more about your child’s classroom, what students will be learning this year, and how we can work together to support a great year.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Teachers will present the same information during three sessions throughout the evening, allowing families with more than one child to visit multiple classrooms:

Session 1: 5:40–5:55 p.m.
Session 2: 6:00–6:15 p.m.
Session 3: 6:20–6:35 p.m.

Families are also encouraged to stop by and visit our Art, Library, PE, Special Education, ELL, and Math & Reading Intervention classrooms throughout the evening.

During each session, teachers will share information about what students will learn, what learning looks like in the classroom, ways to support learning at home, and how we will communicate throughout the year.

We look forward to seeing you Thursday evening and continuing to work Stronger Together for our students!
