To help ease those first-day jitters and ensure a smooth transition into the new school year, we are excited to host our Elementary Orientation Day on Thursday, August 20th! We have found that this smaller group setting offers a wonderful opportunity for students to connect with their teachers and classmates in a relaxed way. This personalized approach truly helps students feel comfortable and prepared, while giving teachers a chance to introduce classroom routines, show where to place supplies, and provide a quick tour of the school. Please be sure your child attends as we do take attendance.
Your child’s teacher will share all the specific details about their orientation activities in their welcome email. We’ve organized the day into four one-hour sessions, and your child will be assigned to a session based on their last name. Don't worry, teachers might make slight adjustments to the timeslots to ensure the best experience for everyone!
The Orientation schedule will be as follows:
Last Name | Time Block |
A-F | 8:30-9:30 |
G-M | 9:45-10:45 |
N-S | 11:00-12:00 |
T-Z | 1:15-2:15 |
We will start each session in the outside Amphitheater (South side of our building) where students and parents can meet their teachers. Our teachers and students will proceed to the classroom. I will have a brief 15-minute talk with each of the groups, so feel free to stay. Kindergarten parents, please accompany your child to their classroom and I will talk with you on the Kindergarten playground the last 20 minutes of your session. After the one-hour sessions, parents and students will leave and return the following day. Friday August 21, 2026 will be the first full day of school for K-6 students. School begins at 7:50 am and dismisses at 2:50 pm.
