• Schools welcoming students and families to open house events

    Schools in Gaston County are rolling out the red carpet to welcome students and families to an open house, giving attendees the opportunity to learn about everything the school has to offer.

    The open house events are ideal for students who are going to be new to the school next year, especially students who will be in kindergarten or students who are moving from elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school.  It is a time for parents to meet the principal, teachers, and staff; tour the school and classrooms; learn about curriculum, academic, and other programs; and ask questions.

    Last year, 私人影院 conducted a “School Showcase” event in one location that featured all 56 schools; this year, each school is encouraged to conduct its own open house so students and families can have a chance to visit the school.

    Below is a list of the open houses, which are open to all families who have an interest in a particular school.  Students and their parents who currently attend a private, charter, virtual, or home school and may be thinking about enrolling in 私人影院 for 2025-2026 are invited to attend as well.

    If you have a question about an open house, feel free to contact the school office.
