ORELC/PMPS/RIS - Grades PreK-5
Tuesday, September 6 & Wednesday, September 7
Sabre Launch is an innovative Open House/Conference experience on Tuesday, September 6 and Wednesday, September 7 for PreK-Grade 5 students and their parents/guardians held before school begins (Thursday, September 8). Sabre Launch will nurture the home-to-school partnership and offer more individualized time for your family and your child’s classroom teacher to establish a personal connection while introducing your child to their new learning environment. All students MUST pre-register for a SABRE Launch conference slot with your child’s teacher via Skyward Family Access. Families will be meeting individually with their teacher this year so signing up is important. We recommend the visit include the students and parents/guardians. During Sabre Launch, school personnel and support staff will be available to answer questions and assist families with transportation, health services, food service, social worker/counselor, specialists, special education services, and technology.
