Hello Falcon Families!
Please see the reminders below:
New Parent Dinner: The New Parent Dinner will be held on Monday, August 9th from 6:00-8:00 PM. It will be held in our Upper School Gymnasium at the Monticello Road Campus (7401 Monticello Road Campus). This parent-only event will help answer any final questions/concerns and help new BLS parents meet and connect with returning BLS parents. If you have not sent in your RSVP or have any questions, please contact Lil Mason at lil.mason@benlippen.com or Kelly Adams at kelly.adams@benlippen.com.
NE Open Campus “Drop-In”: Our NE Open Campus will be held between 8:30- 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, August 10th for our PK4 through 1st-grade families. This is a time to come and meet the teacher, bring in your school supplies, and see the classroom. Please also stop by the foyer on this day to pick up a packet that will contain your carpool number and other information about the school year. If you are unable to attend the Open Campus, we will give your packet to your child’s teacher and she will send it home with your child on the first day of school. Listed below are the Open Campus times for all of our lower school campuses.

Parents with more than one child will have the opportunity to visit multiple classrooms.
