Open Houses, Parent preview Nighte, EAP/AAP Panels

EAP and AAP Placement letters will be going out to parents and students in the next couple of weeks. Look for those in your mail. However, for students who will attend Middle School next year, your letter may not arrive before parent preview nights happen at the Middle School in which your child may be placed. We suggest you attend the parent info night for your likely Middle School just in case your child is offered placement there.
