Dear Day Middle School Parent/Guardian:
On August 22, 2024, James L. Day Middle School will hold its annual Back-to-School Night. The program will begin at 6:00 PM.
Please visit the classrooms according to the attached schedule. We have scheduled ten minutes for each class period and a three (3) minute passing period between classes. The schedule template includes spaces for class periods, teachers and room numbers. Please print out the schedule and map, have your child fill out this schedule, and bring it with you to Back-to-School Night.
Back-to-School Night is a time when you can gain valuable information about curriculum, homework and grading procedures. Time does not permit Back-to-School Night to be a conference on individual student achievement or needs. Please call or e-mail your child’s teachers if you need to speak to them for a more in-depth conference. I am looking forward to having you attend the James L. Day Middle School Back-to-School Night.
Sincerely,
Rob Sousa
Principal
