Tempe Elementary School District’s first day of school is Monday, Aug. 1, with a Meet the Teacher night planned for Thursday, July 28.
Parents can visit their child’s teacher, take a peek inside the classrooms and learn what’s in store for the upcoming year, all designed to help ensure a successful first day at school.
Meet the Teacher nights will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Tempe Elementary district’s elementary schools and Ward Traditional Academy; from 4 to 5:30 at Laird School; and from 2 to 6 p.m. at Connolly, Gililland and Fees College Preparatory middle schools.
An introductory meeting will be at Tempe Academy of International Studies (to pick up schedules and meet the teacher).
The district’s kindergarten program accepts children who turn 5 between September and December, however it is important to note that children are required to be screened at two separate sessions: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, July 18, and noon to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, July 19.
Screenings will take place at the Tempe Elementary Professional Learning Center, 2020 E. Carson Drive, Tempe.Â
Starting on Wednesday, July 20 and continuing through Friday, Aug. 5, all screenings will be done at each school.Â
