SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO

Everything You Want to Know

Week of January 24, 2022

FROM THE PRINCIPAL:

As we plan for the 2022-23 school year we have been fielding many new applications for enrollment. We have to have accurate information from our current families regarding their intent to return before we evaluate these applications.  If you have not done so already, (you only need to complete the form once), complete the following Google Form by tomorrow, 1/26 to indicate your enrollment intentions for the 2022-23 academic year:https://forms.gle/2ULX82NrVVAdHM9Y8
Is there a sibling in your household joining us for kindergarten next year? You do not need to include them on the intent to return Google Form, but  you do need to submit a registration form for them. This form is attached to this SAM.

This upcoming Sunday at 10pm we will welcome potential families for a tour and open house.  Additionally, we are offering an online “Zoom” question/answer session on Monday at 6:30pm.  We have flyers available for these events in the office. Feel free to distribute these to any of your friends that may be interested. Thanks for spreading the word about our amazing school community!
