Dear Parents/Guardians, September 9, 2022
Please mark your calendar for the Little School’s “BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT” for the 2022-2023 school year on Thursday, September 15th from 6:30 – 8:30 PM.
This initial open house will provide 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/guardians 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/guardians and staff (no children).
Please review the format below. (Please note for Gr. 4 and 5 - This structure allows parents/guardians of students in grades 4 and 5 an opportunity to visit with all the teachers on the team).
The program for the evening will be as follows:
