Hello Melrose Families:
We are looking forward to the 2025-2026 school year. I am resending information about important dates with a few more details included:
NEW PARENT/CAREGIVER ORIENTATION
Wednesday, August 6
Choose one: In person at 8:30am in Auditorium. On Zoom at 5pm. (Zoom link sent by e-mail and text) Or view the recording at your convenience.
Who should attend? New parents and caregivers. This is not recommended for students because it's not particularly fun.
RETURNING PARENT/CAREGIVER ORIENTATION
Wednesday, August 6
Choose one: On Zoom at 6pm. (Zoom link sent by e-mail and text) Or view the recording at your convenience.
Who should attend? Returning parents and caregivers. Is this required. This is highly recommended for returning families so that you are familiar with new policies. We will move much quicker and cover much less information for new families.
PTO EVENT: NEW TO MELROSE PLAYDATE IN THE PARK
Saturday, August 9.
Who should attend? Any students and their families who are new Melrose are invited to come meet a new friend at the lower playground at Pan Pacific Park. 2pm-4pm. This is not a school sponsored event.
WELCOME FAMILIES EVENT
Tuesday, August 12. 8:30am-10:00am.
Who should attend? New students and their caregivers definitely. Returning students and their caregivers maybe.
What is this? It is NOT orientation. You will complete a scavenger hunt to find entrance gates, lineup areas, classrooms etc.
Is this required? No, however, you're welcome to attend if it makes you feel more comfortable starting school on Thursday.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Thursday, August 14. 8:00am-2:45pm.
