Correction: Nov. 7, 2017
A previous version of this story, because of a Department of Education error, incorrectly stated that the Ulla F. Muller Elementary School would host a Open House and Parent Help Sessions on Wednesday. The Gladys Abraham Elementary will be hosting the event at the Ulla F. Muller Elementary School on Wednesday. The story has been updated to reflect the correct information.
