Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School

Back to School Night

Thursday, September 8th

6:30 – 9:00 pm

Important Notes:

Students are asked to fill out their schedule and give it to their parents.

  • Back to School Night is for parents and guardians. Students are NOT encouraged to attend.
  • Plan to arrive by 6:15 p.m. because school parking lots fill up quickly. 
  • Overflow parking is available at the James River Bus Company lot on Allen St. between Broad and Leigh and the Virginia Union C.K. lot on Leigh St. and Mozelle (directly across Leigh St. from MLW).  
  • Parents should report to the school auditorium no later than 6:30 p.m. for welcome and directions for the evening before reporting to 1st period.
  • Students should provide their schedule to their parents to follow.
  • Each class session will last for ten minutes and a bell will signal the transition to the next class.  Parents will have five minutes between classes.
  • Teachers will be providing specific information about their classes, not about individual students.  Parent-teacher conferences will take place virtually on October 24 and October 26 during which time parents may discuss their child’s individual progress. More information regarding these conferences will be forthcoming.
