Access Infinite Campus to print your student's schedule before the event or pick up a hard copy in the Dr. Donna Jahnke Student Plaza Entrance lobby beginning at 6:30 p.m.

A Freshman Class meeting (for parents and guardians of the class of 2026) will precede the Open House, starting at 6 p.m. in the Ladue Performing Arts Center.
