Good evening VAC families,

My daughter is going to be a freshman this year and we noticed that Einstein and Walter Johnson (her home school where she will be going for periods 3-7) have orientation on the same day. For the parents that have gone through this, do you recommend that she goes in the morning to Einstein and after second period to drive her to Walter Johnson's orientation, or should she skip the orientation at Einstein and go only to her home school??

Thanks for your time :)

Thanks for this reminder,?Lainey and Karen! I want to alert everyone that this event seems to coincide with Taste of Einstein. This may have been already discussed. I just thought it would be important to note in case turnout is less than usual.

Kind Regards,
