Dear Parents,September 6, 2017

Please mark your calendar for the Little School’s “BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT”for the 2017-2018 school year on Tuesday, September 19th from 6:30 – 8:30 PM.

This initial open house willprovide an opportunity for the staff to introduce themselves, familiarize you with the goals and procedures of our school, review the new standards-based reporting system and outline the grade level curriculum, materials and expectations. THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR CONFERENCING WITH TEACHERS. Formal conferences will take place at the end of the trimester in early December. We encourage parents to schedule a time for conferencing with your child(ren)’s teacher(s) any time you feel it is necessary. Teachers are willing to arrange a mutually convenient time to discuss any concerns you may have. Parents are asked to make arrangements for childcare, as Back to School Night” will be an evening for parents and staff.

Please review the format below. This structure allows parents of students in grades four and five an opportunity to visit with the teachers on the team as they reviewthe grade level curriculum and requirements. The program for the evening will be as follows:
