Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Some things to look forward to tonight:
Our downstairs AC is broken at the moment and will unfortunately not be repaired by exhibition time. Upstairs will be nice and cool so go upstairs for a break from the heat if you need it. We're hoping that we'll be able to have enough circulation with fans and open doors to keep it reasonably cool downstairs, but I apologize in advance if it gets a tad warm.
As always for exhibitions, we have staff on campus all afternoon in case your student is not going home before exhibition.
Here's the blurb from my last email in case you're hearing about this the first time:
This is a reminder about Thursday's exhibition. Note that this exhibition is a gallery walk so you do not need to be there exactly at 5:30. Your student will be your guide and once you have seen all of the classes, enjoyed some of the common activities, eaten some pizza (thank you SET PA for providing the food!), and talked to friends, you are welcome to leave. 30 to 45 minutes is a reasonable expectation for the amount of time that you will spend at school, so as long as you are here a little before 6:30, you should be fine.
Parking will continue to be a pain (even though we no longer have the construction excuse), so please allow extra time to figure that out. In your frustration, please avoid using the Boujiemana parking lot (they have been complaining recently) unless you are going there afterwards for dinner. Parking at Cabrillo Heights park or in the neighborhood on the other side of Cabrillo Heights is a good option to just completely avoid the traffic.
Remember that events like these are designed to be student centric with the student explaining their work. The teachers are happy to chit chat, but the student should be the one doing most of the talking. If you have questions or concerns about grades or assignments, please schedule a meeting via email with the teacher for an alternate time. We want to make sure that everyone gets an opportunity to chat with our staff.
Thanks everyone!
Dr. McCurdy
