  • A grade-specific breakout session
  • Teacher presentations highlighting classroom goals and learning highlights for the year
New this year: Parents are asked to enter through the North Breezeway (red door). Doors open at 5:45 p.m. and we welcome everyone to come early to enjoy refreshments and connect with fellow parents before the evening begins. 

While you’re here, don’t miss the chance to explore our newly updated Motor Lab, Embers Town, and Atrium classrooms. Family directories will also be available for pickup. We look forward to having you on campus!

All-School Picture Day: Sept 29

We look forward to keeping them up-to-date with all our exciting Embers happenings!
