Quarterly Contacts

We would like to thank everyone for being so diligent in doing your contacts. Thank you for showing us some of your student’s academic work. It is amazing to see your children’s development. If you have not had a chance to share some academic samples with us, please make an appointment with one of the teachers.

Family Yearbook Pages

Your family yearbook page will print more clearly if you are able to prepare it on the computer. You can do this on your own with a Microsoft compatible product or join one of the staff for a fun page-design session. Bring photos to scan or digital photos on a disc or emailed and/or other scrap booking supplies, and we can work together to create a unique scrapbook-type page on the computer. Moms and/or older children can participate. We would like to have the family pages finished by the end of May so let us know when and how you would like to do your family page. Check the list to see if you have ordered a yearbook. They will be distributed at the Fall Orientation.
