Upper School Families,
We are excited to welcome our students back! It was delightful to see everyone return, and the vibrant energy in the halls was truly uplifting. We’re happy to share that this week has gone smoothly, with students settling in beautifully, and their enthusiasm for learning is unmistakable. Thank you for your support in making this transition a success!
Drivers ed registration link is now live.
Middle School and Upper School boys soccer, girls volleyball, and cross-country student athletes will celebrate the end of the season at “Launch” trampoline park on Thursday, November 7th, from 5:00 to 7:30 PM. This event is free for all student athletes, but registration on Infinite Campus is required to attend. Please contact Coach Irvin with any questions.
We strongly encourage every student to bring a reusable water bottle from home to school. While we have plenty of plastic bottles available for distribution, it’s much more effective for students to pour those into personal bottles. This will facilitate recycling and reduce the number of plastic bottles left behind.
Next week is Spirit Week! Join us for our Homecoming Dance on Friday, November 8th, from 6 to 9 PM. There is no cost to attend, but we would like to know who plans to come so we can make the necessary arrangements. Please sign up on Infinite Campus. We need families to donate food and beverages, if interested sign up here.
School begins at 8:00 AM, and all students are expected to be in class by that time. Any student arriving after 8:07 will be marked tardy. After exceeding seven tardies, a 30-minute after-school makeup session will be required.
We are still working on membership for our Parent Advisory Council. If you applied earlier this spring/summer/fall, there is no need to reapply. If you are interested in applying or would like more information, visit our Advisory Council webpage.
Seniors, The English department offers college essay writing assistance every Tuesday. Ms. Vernau provides help with college applications every Thursday, with no advance sign-up needed.
