See the full list of schools and dates below.<\/p>\n<h3>Making the Most of Back-to-School Night<\/h3>\n<p>Back-to-School Night is a great time to learn about your child&#8217;s classroom and school experience, meet teachers and administrators and learn what you can expect for your\u00a0child in the year ahead. Here are a few tips and reminders to help you make the most of it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Every school and even some grade levels within a school do Back-to-School Night differently. Connect with your school to find out what you can expect.<\/li>\n<li>Know what questions you want to ask in advance, but keep them general &#8211; such as homework and discipline policies, vs questions\u00a0specific to your particular situation.<\/li>\n<li>If you have more than one child in the same school, map a plan in advance for how you&#8217;ll navigate each.<\/li>\n<li>Connect with your school&#8217;s PTA and find out how you can get involved.<\/li>\n<li>Consider signing up for volunteer opportunities at your child&#8217;s school and be sure to complete a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acps.k12.va.us\/Page\/575\">volunteer application<\/a>\u00a0in advance of volunteering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Enjoy This Special Welcome Back<\/h3>\n<p>Watch this video with important back-to-school information from Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Gregory C.
