On Thursday, Sept. 10, Mars Area High School will host Open House/Curriculum Night from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Homeroom begins at 6:00 PM.
Parents/guarduans will have the opportunity to meet your child's teachers and will receive a summary of the curriculum, student expectations, and an overview of how the class operates. A brief question-and-answer session may occur. Each class will be about 9 minutes long, with 4 minutes between classes.
Because our evening's format will be structured like your child's school day, parents/guradians must arrive by 6:00 PM for Homeroom. Please be sure to know your child's homeroom number. During any study hall period, you are invited to the cafeteria. Guidance counselors and administrators will be in the cafeteria throughout the evening to answer your questions.
Information packets and building maps will be distributed when you enter the high school’s main entrance. Your child's schedule is visible on Skyward. High school staff will be available to assist you in finding your destinations. Please enter the high school through the main doors.
