NC Open House Thursday April 4th, 5:15-6:30pm

Early Dismissal Friday April 5th,  1:30pm for all students


The purpose of Open House is to give families a deeper look into what students have been learning and how they have been learning it. Students will guide families through their classrooms, sharing about their learning. Rather than classrooms that are completely transformed for Open House, we want families to truly experience what student learning looks like in a typical day. We want to highlight the process of learning, not just the end products.

 

Our SPARK funded Art rooms will be open 5:15pm. Ms. Mathews and MS. Mckee will be attending both NC and Cove Open houses on this night so they will only be at NC 5:15-6:00. Please make your art gallery rounds early in the night to see your students' art work and say hello to their teachers. Ms. Mathews' classes will be displayed in A1 and Ms. Mckee’s classes will be displayed in A2. 

 

The Neil Cummins Library will be open too! P.E. will be represented at an event later in the school year for a Family recess night at a PTO social.

  • All families please park off campus if you are driving to this event. Teachers and staff will be parking in the lot for the evening.

  • Please stay with your children throughout the evening.

  • Teachers are present to connect with the their current students and families

  • Reminder Friday April 5th is early dismissal 1:30 for all students 


Ongoing Daily Morning Drop Off Reminders

  • Please supervise your students before 8:10. We have students arriving early and playing on the playground and we do not have school supervision before school begins. 

  • No parents cars in the parking lot. Rain or shine the parking lot is for staff only

  • When walking to school please walk on sidewalks instead in the road and parking lot area.

 


Sincerely,

Kyle Shaw
