You'll see strategies your kids are learning, understand why we teach them this way, and finally know what to do when your child asks for help with their homework. Bring your questions, your confusion, and your dusty memories of long division. We promise to make you feel smarter than a fifth grader!

Childcare and dinner (pizza, carrots, and apples) will be provided and will open at 5:15pm. Everyone must sign their child up (including students who are in Champions) using this link, Math Night Child Care Sign-Up.

When parents are dismissed, they can go to their child’s classroom where the students will showcase all of the work they have been doing during that quarter. Afterwards, parents leave and the school day resumes as usual.
