Re-enrollment Contracts: Contracts for grades 9-11 will be sent via email on January 20. We ask that you complete and return by February 15.
Attendance: Please make attendance a priority for 2023! Attendance is an essential component to our students’ academic success. Often, the number of days a student is absent accumulates without parents realizing how many days have been missed. In many cases, absences from school are unavoidable due to health problems or other circumstances. However, chronic absenteeism can have a drastic impact on your child’s education and future.
WHYY After-School Classes: Narrative Filmmaking: Mondays and Wednesdays, February 27 – May 31, 2023, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. Photography Workshop, Tuesdays and Thursdays, February 28 – June 1, 2023 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
New Year’s Resolutions: It’s a great time of year to improve our well-being! Start the year off strong and energized by ensuring a great night’s sleep of at least 7-8 hours every night!
