Semester 1 Open House Banner

We invite you to attend Laurel Heights’ Parent and Caregiver Open House on Thursday, October 9th from 5:30-7:30 pm – a chance for you to meet/greet LHSS staff and see your student’s learning spaces. This is a great opportunity to gain an understanding of your student’s day at school while exploring the environments and opportunities available to them.

Teachers can be found in their department areas and can answer questions about their courses, programming, and facilities. At this early point in the semester, we will not have specific information about student achievement or marks, but this is a chance to get to connect with your student’s teachers.

Teacher locators and school maps will be available upon arrival!  We hope to see you on October 9th!
