We want to invite all parents to attend our Curriculum Nights.  Similar to last year, we have combined three grade levels for each curriculum night to cut down on the number of evenings you may need to attend.  Curriculum Nights are for families to come to school to hear specific information pertaining to your child’s classroom.  This is an evening for you to fully understand what your child’s day is like at school and what you can expect regarding the curriculum.  The schedule for Curriculum Night is as follows:

Each evening will be separated into two sessions (Session 1 & Session 2). Which session parents choose to attend depends entirely on their needs and time constraints.  Parents in Session 1 should report to the MPR at 6:00 p.m. for a brief introduction and overview given by the Principal and FFO President.  Around 6:20 p.m., Session 1 parents will be dismissed and should head to their child’s classroom until 7 p.m.  After meeting with their child’s classroom teacher, Session 1 parents can then visit with the specialist teachers in the Art Room before heading home or heading to a Session 2 classroom.

Parents in Session 2 have the option to meet with the specialist teachers anytime between 6-7 p.m. in the Art Room before heading over to the MPR at 7 p.m.  Once the brief introduction and overview is completed in the MPR, Session 2 parents will then be dismissed to their child’s classroom until 8 p.m.

Parents in Session 2 have the option to meet with the specialist teachers anytime between 6-7 p.m. in the Art Room before heading over to the MPR at 7 p.m.  Once the brief introduction and overview is completed in the MPR, Session 2 parents will then be dismissed to their child’s classroom until 8 p.m.


Curriculum Night is a wonderful evening for teachers to interact with parents and begin that critical home-school partnership.  We hope you will all plan to attend your child’s evening! If you are unable to attend, please contact your child’s teacher so that she/he may send home any pertinent information.  It is important for teachers to have a strong working relationship with the families of our students.
