Welcome!
❧ Mr. Kellenberger/Mr. Mosca/Ms. Deuschle
❧ Goal of this evening: Give families a chance to meet teachers and to learn more
about course content
❧ Process:
o Opportunity Discussion (Parents and Students)
o Brief presentation by our core course staff (those classes that every student
takes: social studies, math, language arts, and science)
o Breakout sessions to meet with individual teachers (to help with this,
teachers are grouped by content in single rooms)
