CINDERELLA FREE DRESS DAY: Consider supporting our three Cinderella candidates by purchasing a non-uniform dress day for $20.00.  Nadia Saleh, Natalie Shepardson, and Simran Singhal are participating this year to raise money for the Boys and Girls Clubs.  All proceeds will be divided equally between the three candidates.  You may purchase the non-uniform day here.

NHS APPLICATION: If you were unable to attend the meeting please see Ms. Cannon anytime to pick up an application. Applications will be due by 4:00pm on March 8, 2024.

ORATORICAL SHOWCASE:  The Upper School showcased its talents through readings, poems, speeches, and singing in the first Oratorical Showcase on Wednesday.  Thank you to all of the impressive participants!

 

CHECKOUT PROCEDURES: Anytime a student needs to leave campus early a parent must email Ms. Halbert- Blake to let the US office know. Once the office knows, the teachers are notified and then the student can dismiss from the class without disrupting the teacher and be on time for their checkout. It is best practice to give 24 hours notice. Giving less than an hour notice may result in classroom disruption and delayed dismissal. 

CAMPUS POLICY: Parents please support us in our updated security policies. All students and families must have a car tag on their rearview mirror, deliveries from outside vendors are not allowed, parents may deliver to the Admissions office and text their child to pick up delivery from the main office as soon as possible. Parents may check into the main office and then proceed to any appointments scheduled on campus. We are a closed campus. This means students may not leave for study hall and return nor may they leave for lunch and return. If they leave campus it must be with prior parental notification. Appointments should be accompanied by a note to return to school as this ensures the absence is excused.

Please note the dates for the US March Calendar
