Semester 2 Parent/Caregiver Open House – Thursday, March 5th

Posted February 27, 2026

We invite you to attend Laurel Heights’ Parent and Caregiver Open House on Thursday, March 5th 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.

To help you prepare for your visit, please check with your student(s) for information about their semester 2 teachers!

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 great chance to get to connect with your student’s teachers.

Student leaders will be on hand to distribute teacher locators and school maps when you arrive!  We hope to see you on March 5th!
