Laurel Heights Parent & Caregiver Open House!

Posted September 30, 2026

Join us on Thursday, October 8th, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM to tour LHSS, explore your student’s learning environment, and connect with our staff. This evening offers a fantastic glimpse into your student’s daily school routine and the many opportunities open to them this year.

Teachers will be stationed throughout their respective departments to introduce themselves and share details about their courses, programs, and facilities. Since we are early in the semester, discussions will focus on connections and course overviews rather than specific marks or academic progress.

Maps and teacher location guides will be provided at the entrance when you arrive. We look forward to welcoming you on October 8th!

Be sure to join our LHSS Guidance Department’s Presentation: “Help Your Student Prepare for Post-Secondary” at 7:30pm in the LHSS auditorium.
