Fall Open House is Monday, August 17th, from 6:00–7:30 PM!

We’ll be using a bell schedule format, so please arrive as promptly as possible. You’ll start in your student’s 1st period class and spend about 7 minutes in each class. Teachers will give a short presentation and overview of their class.

Please bring a copy of your student’s schedule or, even better, bring your student with you so they can help you find your way around! We’re looking forward to seeing everyone there!
