Dear Rainier Families,

 

We look forward to seeing as many students as possible on Wednesday, July 30 for our Get Stuff Done Day starting at 6pm on the Tahoma Campus. We will have stations for students to turn in paperwork, take school pictures and meet new classmates.

 

Our Summer Mixer, will be held from 4 - 6pm on August 2 and we expect a big turnout with returning and new families from both campuses joining together to build excitement for the 2014-2015 school year. All San Jose community members are welcome, so bring along relatives, coworkers, friends, and your child's friends to join in on the festivities.

 

Please watch for our second summer mailer with lots of information about our summer events, back to school forms and paperwork, plus much more. Please look for it in your mailbox soon.

 

School starts for all students on Monday, August 18.
