Grandparents’ Day

Your parents have received an invitation to our Middle School Grandparents’ Day, and we hope they will be able to join us and attend classes with your daughters. Grandparents have been asked to RSVP by emailing MSgrandparent@hockaday.org. Seeing their granddaughters and our teachers “in action” is always a real treat. Middle School Grandparents' Day is from 8:15 am –11:15 am on Wednesday, April 17. We have scheduled two classes for your parents to visit and a refreshment break in advisories at 9:50. I encourage our visitors to wear comfortable clothing and shoes as our campus is quite spacious. Your daughter will report to her A period class at 8:00 am without her grandparents. The girls who have visiting grandparents will then pick them up in the LLARC between 8:45 and 8:55. The morning’s schedule is stated below.

8:15-8:45          Grandparents arrive at the Forest Lane Parking Lot and drive to front entrance of the LLARC. Valet parking will be available. They then enter the LLARC, pick up nametags, and enjoy light refreshments and a video in Hicks Meeting Room. Your daughter will come to pick up her grandparents around 8:45 and escort them to her class.

9:00-9:50          E Period class

9:50-10:15        Break - Light refreshments will be available in your daughter’s advisory while grandparents visit with her advisor.

10:25-11:15      F Period Class

Our classroom visits will end at 11:15 am, and students will then attend regular classes for the rest of the school day.  We ask that the girls stay on campus to eat lunch; regretfully, we do not have enough room in our Dining Hall to invite grandparents to join us for lunch. Grandparents' Day is a delightful experience for all involved, and we truly hope your parents will be able to share the morning with us.
