Open House
Doors will open at 4:00 PM and Open House will conclude at 6:00 PM.
A quick note about teacher assignments: Please leave room for human error regarding the postcards that were sent home with teacher assignments. While every effort was made to ensure accuracy, the classroom rosters provided to teachers through Infinite Campus are the most updated and correct student classroom assignments. Updated classroom rosters will also be posted at the ends of each hallway.
Food trucks will be on campus, so come hungry and enjoy a meal while you're here!
Be sure to visit our information stations:
Room 1 – Foyer: PTO Information
Room 2 – Cafeteria: PACES and Boy Scouts
Room 3 – Gym: Transportation and Bus Information
Room 4 – Library: Beginning-of-the-Year Information
We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow as we kick off an amazing school year. Welcome home, Stingrays!
