Who Should Attend?

 

Back to School Night is an event for parents/guardians.  Although your student may want to attend, we respectfully request that if at all possible, you participate without your child.  Space is limited and we want to allow families to move from class to class with enough space.  Don’t worry about getting lost, we will have plenty of staff to help guide you.  You will also receive a map of the school to help guide you.  Thank you in advance and we appreciate your support.  

 

What Should I Bring?

 

We encourage you to bring a copy of your child’s schedule with you.  You can take a picture of the schedule or download it from Synergy.  Use HCPSS.me to view your student’s schedule.   Click on “Synergy” in the top right corner, and use your child’s login credentials to log in.   You can also use your own login credentials to access your child’s schedule.  

If you do not have a copy of your child’s schedule, we will have copies in each Advisory class.  

 

GT Program Information Session at 5:30 pm

Mr. Ebbe, the GT resource teacher, will be presenting on the GT program and answering any questions from 5:30 pm until 6:00 pm.  Mr. Ebbe will host his session in the cafeteria.

 

Take care, 

Ms. Smith & Mrs. Thompson
