This will provide teachers with information on how to best meet each child’s needs throughout the year. The three days for assessing students are August 12, 13 and 16. The first full day of school for all students is August 17.

In order to allow all children from the same family to attend on the same day, use the last name of your oldest child. For example, if your oldest child has the last name Sanchez, but your younger children have the last name Garcia, all of them will attend on August 16. The schedule, based on last names, is listed below:

A through G – Thursday, August 12
