Frequently Asked Questions

When will I find out my child's teacher?

Information is available in the ParentSquare app, and classroom teachers will contact families via ParentSquare on Monday, August 24.

Can I walk my child to class on the first day?

Yes. Parents are welcome to walk students to their classrooms on the first day, especially TK, Kindergarten, and students who are new to the school.

What time will teachers be available?

Teachers will be available in classrooms beginning at 7:45 a.m. on the first day of school.

Why is Open House after school starts?

Holding Open House after school begins allows students time to settle into their classrooms, start building routines, and create work they can proudly share with their families. It also gives our teachers and contractors a little extra time to prepare for our students.

Is the playground area safe?

Yes. The playground construction area is fenced off, inaccessible to students, and supervised by staff. The gravel has been prepared for installation of the new playground equipment.

What will students do during recess without the playground?

Students will continue to have access to our very large fenced in turfed playfield as well as our blacktop areas and four square, jump ropes, bubbles, chalk, soccer, tag, field games, kickballs, cornhole, basketballs, and additional new recess equipment. 

When does Preschool start?

Preschool's first day is September 15.
