Parents are invited to pre-K and kindergarten curriculum night Tuesday. First and second grade parents are invited to their curriculum night Thursday. Information will be coming home from each child for exact times. This is a time to learn about what each child will learn this year as well as classroom routines and procedures -- the things every parent needs to know.

Friday, students will take their individual pictures. Information packets will be in the Thursday folder.
