Join us for our annual "Moving On Up" night on Thursday, May 8th! This important event offers families the opportunity to visit their child's next grade level and meet the teachers. We're offering two sessions: Session 1 from 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM and Session 2 from 4:45 PM - 5:30 PM.
During your visit, you'll receive information about your child's future teachers, grade-level curriculum and content, and ways to support your child's learning at home. Plus, enjoy a yummy popcorn snack!
