This year, one of our biggest priorities for family engagement is making sure families feel informed and empowered as partners in their child's learning.

We want you to know what your child is learning, the skills and grade-level standards they are working toward, the curriculum and programs we use to support them, and how you can stay connected to their academic progress throughout the year.

Back to School Night will be our first opportunity to begin building that partnership. You'll spend time in your child's classroom learning about the year ahead, what learning looks like at their grade level, and how we can work together to help every student grow and thrive.

We hope to see you there!
