Our Open House is scheduled for Thursday, August 17, from 5:00 to 7:00. Our teams are working hard on cleaning our building and making sure the HVAC system is ready to roll for students and teachers on the first day of the school! Our playground will be close to completion and may or may not be ready on Open House Night. We are looking forward to it being open on the first day of school.

On Tuesday, August 15, we will be hosting all incoming kindergarten students and parents for our Popsicles on the Playground meet and greet. The purpose of this event is to have our incoming kindergarten students meet their teachers and start to build relationships before the first day of school. The first day of kindergarten for our students can stressful and we want to ease the stress for our students as much as possible. Popsicles on Playground starts at 5:00pm and will end at 6:00pm. Kindergarten teachers and building principals will meet students and parents in staff parking lot on the side of the gym.
