Meet, Greet & Find Your Seat with Popsicles on the Playground is Planned for August 22

• Please come meet your teacher and greet classmates the day before school starts and calm the first day of school jitters! 
• On Wednesday, August 22, teachers will be in their classrooms to greet their new students from 4:00 - 5:00 PM. Students are encouraged to bring school supplies to put into their desks, lightening the load and helping to keep the first day of school the beginning of a new routine. 
• Families and students are invited to stay for "Popsicles on the Playground" hosted by WETAP from 4:00 - 6:00 PM. Students will have a chance to play with their classmates and families can meet their peers for the new school year. It is a time to create classroom connections for the coming school year. Families are also asked to help clean the playground following the event so it is ready for the first day of school.
