CALENDAR AND SPECIAL EVENTS

Town & Country has a variety of parent involvement activities.  We try to inform you of any special events held at school as soon as possible in the school year.  We also try to accommodate your busy schedules.  The following summarizes our regular family activities:

Back-to-School Night is held in October for parents to visit their child’s classroom and hear the teacher discuss the goals for the school year.
Mom’s Mini Day is held on a school morning (10:00-11:30 am) in October or November.  The purpose is for mothers to spend part of a typical morning with their children at school.
Dad’s Mini Day is held on a Saturday morning.  The purpose is for fathers to spend part of a typical morning with their children at school.
Conferences are held early in March to discuss your child’s growth and development.  School is closed for two days with child care provided for T&C children during the conference.  Parents may schedule conferences earlier in the year, before or after school.  Telephone conferences may also be arranged.
The Olympics are held every June, during school hours for Rooms 6 through 10. This is a celebration of physical education activities that the children have learned during their school year.
