During this event, students and families will have the opportunity to meet their teachers, drop off school supplies, connect with members of our team, and complete important back-to-school items such as volunteer background checks.

Students will also complete a beginning-of-year assessment to help our teachers better understand their individual learning needs and ensure a strong academic start.

For the 2026-2027 school year, back to school days take place on August 27th & 28th, 2026!
