What is Monday at the Media?

The Media Center will be open again this year, every Monday, 3:30-5:30. This time can be used for checking out library books, using computers or homework help. Please come in! We do ask that a parent or caregiver accompany students during this time.

 
What is Open School Night?

Open School Night is a time for families to come in and visit their classroom teacher. During this time you can ask your teacher questions, see a work that your child is doing in the classroom or bring in a visiting family member. Open School Night is every other month, on the second Monday, 6:00-7:00. It rotates with our PTA meetings.  Open School Nights this year will be October 12th, December 14th, February 8th and April 12th. We hope to see you!
