Open House

Dear American Classical Academy Rutherford Families,
We are excited to welcome you to our Open House on Friday, August 7, from 4:00-6:00 p.m.!
This is a wonderful opportunity for students and parents to visit the school before the first day of classes. During Open House, you’ll be able to:

Find your child’s classroom.
Become familiar with the layout of the school.
Practice your route through the building to help make the first day of school a little less stressful.
Ask any last-minute questions before the school year begins.

Whether you’re new to American Classical Academy Rutherford or returning for another year, we encourage every family to attend. We hope this time will help students feel comfortable, confident, and excited as they prepare for a wonderful school year.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday, August 7, from 4:00-6:00 p.m., and can’t wait to welcome everyone back to campus!
Warmly,
American Classical Academy Rutherford
