Get Connected Day

A parent-only event to connect, ask questions, and prepare for the school year ahead.

Carolina Day School’s Get Connected Days are parent-only events designed to help new families feel informed, connected, and confident heading into the school year. Join us to meet fellow parents, connect with school staff, and become familiar with the resources, systems, and communication tools you’ll use throughout the year.

In summer 2026, we’ll offer two sessions:

Friday, July 10 | 9:30–11:00 a.m.
Friday, August 7 | 9:30–11:00 a.m.

Both sessions will be held in McGregor Hall (see map) and will cover the same information. If possible, we encourage families to attend the July session to begin building connections earlier in the summer, but please RSVP for the date that works best for your schedule.
