Thank you to all of our 2nd grade families who joined us for Transition Night! Last evening, families had the opportunity to meet our 3rd grade teachers and learn more about what to expect in the upcoming school year.

Teachers provided a comprehensive overview of a typical 3rd grade classroom, including academic expectations, routines, learning opportunities, and ways families can support student success. It was a wonderful evening of connection, collaboration, and preparation for this exciting next step in our students’ educational journey.
