Open House

It was a terrific evening at Walton yesterday. We opened our doors for the first time this school year for both parents and students to come visit the school. Turnout was terrific! We had a number of new faces come through last night as the new sixth grade students came to walk the halls, meet the teachers and start learning the pathways to class. Sixth grade students always bring the most energy to the table and that was evident yesterday. They were excited and a bit anxious at first, but as they found their teachers’ rooms, nerves started to be settled. There were a lot of seventh graders walking around last night as well. Some were here to size up their new teachers, but most were here to see old friends and familiar faces. We even had a few eighth graders make the journey to school yesterday evening to see the staff and to find their classes for this year. A lot were comparing notes about who was together in class and reviewing schedules. The SCA reps. were on hand to help new students and former students alike find their way to the right spot.  A lot of parents got the chance to sign up for Parent Portal to access their child’s schedule and classroom grades. It was a great evening and the excitement was palpable. This morning, the staff is more excited than ever to get this year started. Enjoy the final weekend before the next school year begins and we cannot wait to see everyone next week!
