Community and Parents Are Invited to Open House Events

It's that time of year again -- the time when all schools hold their first open house or back-to-school night. These events give parents and teachers an opportunity to establish a personal connection and parents can learn more about important communication tools for continued updates throughout the school year. Teachers will be sharing important information about school procedures and the curriculum. The public is also invited to visit facilities and classrooms.
