Prior to the commencement of school, a teacher will make arrangements for an individual visit to the classroom. We feel this is a comfortable way for your child to meet his/her teachers and become familiar with the classroom without the anxiety and distraction of the first day of school. Parent–teacher conferences are held twice during the school year.
