Next Open House & PTA Meeting – Thursday 3/19

Walker’s Open House is on March 19! Doors open at 5:30 p.m., followed by our monthly PTA meeting at 6:30 p.m.

All Walker families—current and prospective—are welcome. We’ll start with a brief welcome and presentation from Principal Gray and Assistant Principal Wharton, then everyone can wander the building at their own pace—peek inside classrooms, visit the gym and cafeteria, and get a real feel for day-to-day life at Walker. It’s also a great chance to meet staff and connect with other families in our community.

Childcare will be available during the PTA meeting. Children who are not toilet trained must remain with a parent/guardian.

Please share with friends, neighbors, or anyone considering Walker—we’d love to welcome them!
