Tappan Information Day

We hope you have had a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer vacation. We are looking forward to an exciting and prosperous upcoming school year! As we approach the start of the new school year, we wanted to share a few important dates and information with you.

Information Day is an opportunity for students and families to pick up schedules, meet staff members, practice lockers, and more! For students to receive a schedule on Information Day, all important documents must be submitted and InfoSnap completed in advance of the event. Families are welcome to attend the event as their schedule permits, though we encourage those who are able to follow the schedule below:

• 6th Grade Students and Families: 9 - 10 am

• 7th Grade Students and Families: 10 - 11 am

• 8th Grade Students and Families: 11 - 12 pm

Families should plan to park in the front parking lot and on Brockman. Enter the building through the front doors to get started. When leaving, please exit through the west end doors.

The following items need to be completed prior to Information Day:
