Come join us for a “Day in the Life of a K¹² Student” on Tuesday, July 29 at 6:30 p.m. This interactive information packed session will focus on how you can use the K¹² curriculum to provide a quality education for your child.

There will be demonstrations of online lessons, access to the Online School as well as samples of paper based curriculum to examine. Come speak to parents who have actually used the K¹² curriculum with their students in grades K-8.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, July 29 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Walla Walla Public Schools Board Room, 364 S. Park St.
