These playdates will be very informal – just an opportunity for the kids to run around, have some fun, and meet some of their new classmates, and for parents to get to know each other as well. Feel free to bring blankets, snacks, balls and/or other outdoor toys. Though this is not an official school event, Friends of the Open School Representatives and members of the Open School Welcome & Hospitality Committee will be in attendance at each play date to answer any questions you might have about our amazing school community.

We try, after each of these events to show our appreciation, to the Chairs and their teams for their efforts.
