Parent Night:
Our Curriculum Night – on Thursday, September 15th is from 6:00 – 8:00 pm; this will be
a great first opportunity for you to learn about some key things your child’s teacher wants
you to know and will provide an opportunity for you to ask questions. There will two

prepare us for the first conferences in early October. Please drop in to the appropriate
sessions with your child’s teacher.
