Families can eat and mingle from 5-6. I would encourgae you to mingle with them, but it's not a requirement. You're the rockstars!!! Classrooms will be open from 6-7. We will make an announcement at 6 to open the rooms and again at 7pm to close them. Remember, this isn't an event where I expect LARGE projects. It's an opportunity for our kids to show their parents a day to day snapshot of the school day. Please work with your team to ensure you have the same things at Open House, because parents compare and wonder why one class did something and another class didn't. HAVE FUN!!!!!
