The week before school officially opened students and their parents in most of the elementary schools had an opportunity to "Sneak a Peek" at their school. Classrooms were open and teachers greeted their new students. Some students stopped by to visit their teacher from last year.
On Monday, August 30 the doors of Hempfield school buildings officially opened for the year. As buses arrived, teachers greeted elementary students and made sure their book bags were tagged correctly for the bus trip home. Kindergarten students visited their classrooms with their parents for a brief orientation and officially began their classes on Tuesday, August 31. Everything went smoothly at the secondary level. High school students were greeted by sidewalk chalk drawings and enthusiastic teachers and administrators.
