On Tuesday evening September 21st, we are excited to be able to welcome all parents/guardians into our school building to meet their child's teacher, visit their classroom and tour the school! For many of our parents, this might be the first time they have been able to enter our building. We can't wait to open our doors and welcome all parents/guardians into the building. Please follow the time slots below to help us spread out all of our visitors.

Last Name A-J 6:00-6:30 PM

Last Name K-Z 6:30-7:00 PM

Mr. Jarot will welcome everyone at the front door and you will be given a school building map, that will include some fun activities (Location Bingo) to ensure you are able to tour various parts of the school in addition to your child's classroom. There will be an opportunity to submit your completed Bingo sheet to win a prize for your family.

This event is for adults only. Please remember to wear a mask when entering the building.

We can't wait to see you all in person!

Sincerely,

Mr. Jarot

Click here to register!

School always presents certain challenges for students who learn and think differently (kids with ADHD, dyslexia, giftedness, autism, anxiety, or other neuro-differences). But the COVID-19 pandemic has created even greater obstacles. Debbie shares ideas on how parents can best prioritize and plan in the pandemic-era school landscape. She also offers advice on how to support differently wired children’s cognitive, social, and emotional needs during this atypical time, while also taking care of one’s own emotional health and well-being.
