Back-to-School Night
We’re excited to welcome our students and families Friday – TONIGHT – starting at 5 p.m. for Back-to-School Night!
- For your convenience, please enter through the back gate on the Glenwood side of the building.
- All students must attend with a parent or guardian over the age of 18 to ensure a safe and positive experience.
- Please keep an eye on your children during the event so everyone can enjoy the evening safely.
- We hope you enjoy visits from our wonderful community partners, tasty food trucks, and the Popsicles Palooza hosted by the PTA.
Our staff are eager to connect with you and share all the great plans for the year ahead.
We can’t wait to see you there and partner together for a fantastic school year!
