About the event
Emmanuel's Back-to-School Orientation is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5, from 4:30- 7:30 PM.
Classroom Visits: Teachers will be available in their classrooms to meet with parents and students. This will be a great time to ask questions, learn about classroom schedules and expectations, and share information and concerns with your child's teacher. Student supplies can also be delivered to the classroom on this day as well.
The three Preschool through Grade 5 presentations are all the same so you only need to choose one of the time frames; and, if you have more than one child, you will still be able to attend each of your children's classroom presentations.
5:30 - 6:00 Classroom Presentation #1 -- Preschool - Grade 5 Classrooms
6:00 - 6:30 Classroom Presentation #2 -- Preschool - Grade 5 Classrooms
6:30 - 7:00 Classroom Presentation #3 -- Preschool - Grade 5 Classrooms
