Back to School Night & New Student Orientation 2021


BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT

We will have an in-person Back-to-School Night this year on Monday, August 16th with a few modifications.   This night is just for parents.  We ask that all students remain at home.  There will not be enough room in the classrooms for both parents and students.  We ask that only one parent attend for each child.  If you have more than one child and the meeting times are at the same time, one parent may go to each class.  We will also have a new student orientation just for those students new to KVA (see below). Teachers will go over all of the needed information on the first day of school with the students.  Please note rooms and times below for each grade level.  

All parents of students in grades K4-8th grade will go directly to their child’s homeroom class at 5:30 pm where you will meet the teacher(s), receive pertinent information, and get your questions answered.  Feel free to bring your child’s supplies that night if you would like.   

K4: will go to the Primary center Room P101 (go around to the playground side, door will be labeled). 

K5:  will go to the Primary Center P100 (this room is on the front side of the building the first blue door on the right).

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th grades will go to the Lower school building (come in the glass doors near the office and you will be directed to the room).

6th, 7th, 8th grades will enter through the blue doors at the end of the upper school building and someone will be there to guide you.  

9th – 12th grades come in the side glass doors of the upper school near the office and we will guide you.  

All 9th grade parents will meet in Room 203 in the Upper School building at 5:30 pm.    

All 10th grade parents will meet in Room 205 in the Upper School building at 6:00 pm.  

All 11th grade parents will meet in Room 201 in the Upper School building at 6:30 pm.  

All 12th grade parents will meet in Room 204 in the Upper School building at 7:00 pm.   

For grades 9-12, teachers will all be together with you in the designated classroom to discuss each class.  You will not have to move from room to room.  We ask that everyone wear a mask for the meetings.  

If you have questions or concerns about your child’s schedule, please contact Mrs. Rogers as soon as possible. Students have a limited amount of time after the start of school to change classes. Please email her at crogers@kerrvance.com or call the school at 252-492-0018.  


NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

With over 30 new students this year, we will have a special New Student Orientation for students and their parents on Tuesday, August 17th.    This will allow students to come in and personally meet their teachers before the first day of school.  Older students can move to each class following their schedule.  We want everyone to feel comfortable on the first day of school.  You may attend both the Back to School Night and the New Student Orientation, or just choose one.  Students may only attend the orientation day.  

Lower school students (grades K4-5) and parents are invited to come at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, August 17th. Come into the lower school office and you will be directed to the classroom. Upper school students (grades 6-12) are invited to come at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, August 17th. Come into the upper school office and we will direct you. We all look forward to meeting and getting to know our new students.
