Meet the Teacher- On Thursday, September 5th, we had an Open House and invited parents to come and meet their child’s teacher. Expectations were shared regarding curriculum, homework, behavior, and classroom procedures. The night was very informative and parents were given the opportunity to share comments about the first few weeks of school and how their child was adjusting. I would like to thank the students that volunteered to meet and greet, and serve refreshments. I also want to thank the teachers for being so prepared with a wealth of valuable information. And finally, a special thank you to all of the parents who attended! A great night was had by all!
