FALL OPEN HOUSE 2014

Next Wednesday, September 24th is our Fall Open House.  From 5:00pm to 5:50 we have Club Fundraisers in Q-Court and a series of parent meetings and elections. (Check the web site for the most updated schedule)   Starting at 5:55 you can visit your students’ classrooms.  We will have 6 periods where our teachers will have 10 minutes a period to share with you information about their classes. You will be following your student’s schedule so make sure you print out a copy from the Parent Portal or ask your student for a copy.   Can’t find the Parent Portal codes we sent home in the summer?  Just visit the back of the Administration building between 5:00 and 5:50 and we can give you your codes.  You must bring a photo ID and be listed as either the primary or secondary parent/guardian on the registration card to get the codes.

DO WE HAVE YOUR CORRECT INFORMATION?
During the heat wave we sent out a series of calls.  If you did not get any of them, then we probably don’t have your correct contact information.  It is extremely important that we have the most up to date contact information.  Please check Parent Portal to verify that your information is correct.  If is not correct, please contact the school and give us your updated information.
