Thursday, August 13

  • FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
    • TK Parents: You will learn more about the first day of school process at your orientation. 

    • Kinder Parents: You will hear from your teacher about the drop off instructions and best ways to support your child on their first day! 

    • 1st-5th Grade Parents: You are allowed to walk students onto campus (and help them find their "line") Thursday and Friday only. By Monday, only students are allowed in the gates! 
      • Make a plan with your student about where to meet after school (back gate? car line? one of the 2 "waiting areas" in the front of school?) Let them know! 
  • Back to School Night! Grades K-5 (Not TK - yours is done!)
    • This event is adults only... no students. This is your chance to see your child(ren)'s classroom, hear from their teachers, and meet other parents/guardians in your class. 

    • There are TWO sessions to Back to School night (5:00 - 5:35 PM and 5:40 - 6:15 PM). The sessions take place IN THE CLASSROOMS. 
      • Have one kid at Hicks? Choose the session time that works best for you - your teacher will give the same presentation in both sessions. You only need to go to ONE of the sessions. Not both. 
      • Have 2 kids at Hicks? Go to one classroom the 1st session, and the other classroom in the 2nd session. Or divide and conquer if you are able to have two parents/guardian's attend! 
      • Have 3+ kids at Hicks? You'll want to divide and conquer to hit all of the classrooms between the 2 sessions. If you can't make it to one - just connect with that teacher later to ask for any information that was covered. 
    • Please do not bring your child into the classroom. This is a chance for teachers to talk to the parents - it's not an event for students. Plan to buddy up with a friend - one of you can watch the kids outside while the parent goes in the class for the first session, and then switch for the next! 

    • There will also be booths set up around campus to learn more about different programs and opportunities.

    • Visit us at the PTO booth! Already signed up as a member? Come visit us to pick up your incentives! Haven't signed up yet? You can do it right at our booth and get your incentives on the spot. 

    • Visit the HUSKY GEAR POP UP SHOP! Pick up hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, grade-level shirts and more for both you and your Husky! (Bring cash for the fastest transaction!) 

  • 5th Grade Parents: Outdoor Ed info session will immediately follow the 2nd session. More details to come.
