Parents, please plan on spending the evening meeting with your student's teachers and gathering valuable details about what this school year will hold so you can support your child. Our PTSA will provide light refreshments starting at 6pm.

Making the Most of Back-to-School Night
Back-to-School Night is a valuable opportunity to get an inside look at your student’s high school experience and to strengthen the partnership between home and school. Here are some tips to help you and your student make the most of the evening:
Before You Go
  • Review your student’s schedule and jot down any questions about classes or programs.
  • Bring a notebook or device to take notes on important information.
  • Talk with your student about their goals, interests, and any concerns for the year.
 During the Event
  • Meet teachers and learn about expectations for each class, grading policies, and communication methods.
  • Ask about advanced courses, electives, CTE pathways, and college/career preparation opportunities.
  • Connect with school staff and other parents for tips and resources.
  • Explore key areas like the counseling office, career center, and extracurricular programs.
 Questions to Ask Teachers
  • How can my student stay on track for academic success and post-secondary goals?
  • What resources or support systems are available if my student needs help?
  • How do you prefer to communicate with parents and students?
 After the Event
  • Review notes and information with your student—celebrate their successes and clarify next steps.
  • Keep teacher contact info and program details handy for reference.
  • Stay engaged by checking school communications regularly for updates, deadlines, and opportunities.
  • Join PTSA and Athletic Booster and stay connected through our weekly The Panther View.
Your involvement and support help your student thrive in high school and beyond!
