Important Open House Information

Greetings Pershing Pandas!

Our Virtual Open House will be Wednesday, September 22 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Each teacher has created a MS TEAMS link (see attached PDF for links). Based on the “bell schedule” below, parents will click on the MS TEAMS link in the document to join their child’s class at the designated time (i.e., Your child has Ms. Burroughs at 3rd period. Between 6:36 and 6:39 you will click on Ms. Burroughs’ MS TEAMS link to join the meeting for 3rd period). Please keep in mind that all teachers have created one link, which means that teacher’s team will be open for the entire two hours. If you join during the wrong class time, you may hear information that does not pertain to your child’s class. Once it is time to join the next class, you will leave the meeting with the current teacher, return to the document with the links, and click on the link for your child’s next teacher.
