Curriculum Night - Thursday, October 6
Curriculum Night is fast approaching on Thursday, October 6, 2016.
The intent of this evening is to share learning and curriculum expectations with parents/guardians. Individual student conversations should be ongoing and parents/guardians will also have the opportunity to formally engage in conversations during Progress Report interviews. Grade teams will be presenting this information over two repeated sessions: Session 1 at 6:30 p.m. and Session 2 at 7:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you on October 6th and to continuing to build student success together.
