Please attend Portfolio Day during your lunch break or arrange for a family member to attend in your place. Join your child in their classroom as they share their hard work and progress in class.
All students can have lunch in the cafeteria however we need to know in advance if they are getting a school lunch or if you are bringing lunch for your child.
Schedule:
11:45 Gates Open (back gate, front gate, and the side parking lot for on-campus parking)
12:00-1:00 Family picnic on the field
1:00 - 1:45 Portfolio Day
When you arrive, your child will be waiting for you in their classroom between 11:45 and 12:10. After 12:10 your child will be walked to the cafeteria, where you can pick them up from the cafeteria. If you will not be able to attend, please let us know in the survey so that we can match your child up with another student.
It’s early out Wednesday so if you plan to take your child home after reviewing their portfolio, you must sign your child out from their classroom.
