Dear Parents:
Thursday, September 15th is our Fall Parents’ Night at the high school. Parents’ Night will begin at 6:45 p.m. in the auditorium. The administrative team at the high school will share our goal of preparing our students for life after high school and how our activities throughout the year will assist students in meeting this goal.  Following the introductory session in the auditorium, you will then proceed through your child’s fall semester schedule and have the opportunity to hear from each teacher about his or her expectations for the class in which your child is enrolled.
You are encouraged to attend this program, which will give you an opportunity to meet your child’s teachers. Your son or daughter has been asked to complete the schedule below to assist you in finding classrooms and teachers. Please bring this with you to Parents’ Night. Students will be dismissed from school at 12:20 p.m. on Friday, September 16, 2016. If you should have any questions, please contact the high school office at 872-9520, ext. 1809.
