Step Into Learning is an altered start to the traditional start of the school year. Bamber Valley will use the first two days of school, August 25 and 26, as student conference days.

Parents and guardians will make an individual 30-minute appointment in August (be watching for communication from your individual school soon). During this appointment, parents and guardians will have the opportunity to meet their child’s teacher(s), have their child assessed, visit with the school nurse, set up their lunch accounts, explore the school’s PTSA and more. Schools participating in Step Into Learning will not have SACC available on August 25 and 26. The first full day of school for students grades K-5 will be August 27.

Wear your best smile because School Pictures will also be taken at Step into Learning!
