From the self-study document, page 95:

The school holds an orientation at the beginning of each year for all parents, where the various policies and procedures of the school are shared and discussed with parents. Students are welcomed to attend this orientation.

All K-5 parents and students (new and returning) are invited to a “Meet & Greet” event, one day before the first day of school. This allows students and parents to meet their teachers.

The Back-to-School program provides another opportunity for parents to meet the teachers, visit the classrooms, and ask any questions about the curriculum.

The school is in the process of developing a self-paced orientation for parents and students of AGS, which would be required to be completed before a student starts the school (whether at the beginning or the end of the school year)
