NEW BERLIN – The Unadilla Valley Central School District will host its first-ever Back to School Night from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Sept. 4 at the Unadilla Valley High School, 4238 State Highway 8.

The event will take the place of the district’s traditional Open House – typically held in mid-October – and is an opportunity for students to bring their school supplies in and place them in their classroom or locker; students and parents to meet with teachers; and for students, parents and the community as a whole to better understand some of the academic changes that are taking place in New York State.

From 5:30 to 6 p.m., students will have access to lockers and classrooms to drop off supplies, followed by a Welcome Back Celebration, held from 6 to 6:45 p.m. in the auditorium. Grade level and department information will be available from 6:45 to 7 p.m. and a light dinner will be served at 7 p.m.

The best part? Hot dogs, drinks and chips will be provided, allowing people a chance to eat so they won’t have to fix dinner once they get back home.
