From 6:00-6:30 PM in the park, Dr. McConnell will speak about his services that are available, the importance of mental health, and tips on how to help children use technology/social media appropriately.

Concluding the evening, from 6:30-7:30 PM, parents and children will have an opportunity to meet their teacher, ask any questions that they might have regarding the upcoming school year, and see their classrooms.  Students are encouraged to bring their school supplies to Open House.
