Back to School Night / On-Campus Students Our back-to-school night will start at 6:30 pm on September 11th. All parents are encouraged to attend to hear directly from the teachers about the latest, as well as what to expect, for this school year. Teachers will have two separate sessions in case your have multiple students with different teachers. The first session will go from 6:30 - 7:00 pm, and the second session will go from 7:05 - 7:35 pm. We will do our best to end promptly at 7:35 so that our teachers can get home and rest up before class on Tuesday. Back-to-school night is set up for parents only, so please do not bring your students. This allows the parents and teachers to focus on the information being presented without distractions. Important Dates Coming Up September 11th - Mobile Library (On Campus Students) The Placer County Mobile Library will be on campus for students from 1 - 3 pm. The Mobile Library will bring reading materials for students to check out, ranging from reading levels from K - 8, and our classes will take trips to the library throughout the afternoon. Students will need a library card to check out books. If you need a library card, here is an application. (Note: It's a much faster process to bring this to your local Placer County Library than it is for the mobile library to do it). Teachers will keep a card on file for the students (ideally one of the small key ring cards).
