Upper School Families,
This week in advisory, students participated in fun competitions with other students. The halls were filled with shouts and laughter, we had to delay announcements because they were having so much fun. Building relationships is an important part of our culture and this is a great example of that work!
Yesterday, our senior class enjoyed their senior picnic, taking the opportunity to connect with nature, swim, toast marshmallows, and foster a stronger sense of community.
We will host our first Imagine Parent Organization (IPO) meeting and Parent University on Monday, September 9th at 5:30 pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other parents, learn more about IPO and gain valuable information. For Upper School parents we will be sharing information about Infinite Campus and Standards Based Grading along with other valuable information to support upper school students.
State Reporting To provide accurate state reports and support our families, we are required to ask each family to provide household income information annually. Through this process, we are also able to identify families who qualify for scholarship assistance. Eligible families can receive a discount on select field trips, school activities, fees, and vendor-provided lunches.
Please take a moment to complete your family’s form in Infinite Campus by following these steps.
