All families were invited to spend the first day with their child, with classes ending at 2:30 p.m.
Students from across the district are eligible to attend the school at 650 Ridge Ave. Aside from its year-round calendar, the school offers an extended learning day that runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., full-day kindergarten, problem-based learning experiences, and active parent involvement in the educational process.
