The kids have just about completed their second week of school. I still am hearing the grumbling at getting used to the early mornings and of course there is the disdain about homework, but all in all, everyone seems happy to be back in the old routine again.

Many of the parents I talk to are still trying to figure out where the summer went. Some are happy that the kids are back in school, while others dread the homework and wish they could have spent more family time with the kids this summer.

Wonder what your child will be learning in school this year or want the opportunity to meet their teachers? Back to School Night is a perfect time to check in with your child’s school and see how the first few weeks of school are going, as well as what is planned for the rest of the year. Schools throughout the area have announced plans for their Back to School Nights.

Glenleg High School’s Night will take place Sept. 11 beginning at 6:30 p.m.. Both of our local middle schools have new principals and Back to School Night is the perfect time to meet him, if you have not done so already.

Rick Wilson, Folly Quarter Middle School principal, invites parents to Back to School Night on September 23 at 7 p.m. and Dave Brown, principal at Glenwood Middle School, shares that their Back to School Night will be Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. Local elementary schools have several back to school nights, to accommodate parents with children in different grades. Bushy Park Elementary School will hold their Back to School Nights Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. for PreK through Grade 2 and Sept. 17 for Grades 3-5.
