TGMS Back to School Night will follow a new and exciting format! Families are invited to participate in one of two formal sessions as Mrs. Jackson, principal and various staff members, lead a discussion of what you can expect from us in the coming year and what we will expect from our students! Each session will include an informational component and time for your student to go to their classroom and drop off supplies. In order to make our Back To School Night as convenient as possible, parents may attend either session. During the break from 4:45 – 6:00pm, families are invited to visit our tents to meet their teachers, have a photo taken in the photo booth, visit the food trucks, talk with YMCA Latchkey leaders and so much more! We are hopeful that this will help to alleviate some of the stress of parents having to rush to get to various buildings in a short timeframe and feed your family as well! During the break classrooms and hallways will not be open to tour or drop off supplies.
