    Literacy Curriculum Night & Open House

    Families will return to school Thursday, 8/17 at 6 p.m., to hear about how their child will be reading, writing, speaking, and listening this year. A virtual session will be held via Google Meet (grade-specific links). Literacy Night sessions will be led by Tracks 3 & 4 teachers. Families on Tracks 1 & 2 will join their teacher for in-person Open House sessions immediately following the Literacy Night sessions. Open House will not include a virtual option—all families will meet in their child’s classroom so that teachers can facilitate connections in the classroom community and introduce how they have been working together to learn this year. Please RSVP (https://forms.gle/ZiakZYeTxC1ApEYx7) by Wednesday, 8/16. A second Curriculum Night session will focus on mathematics instruction Thursday, 9/7.
