Note from the Director
Students have started their fifth grading cycle, and I am looking forward to seeing each of our parents at the upcoming Parent Teacher Conference. Please keep in consistent contact with teachers as we get closer to the end of the school year.
Wishing you an enjoyable Spring Break with your family!

Apply for AdmissionsRenWeb Access
Our RenWeb system is an excellent tool for parents to use to keep track of their child’s academic performance in class.
The school will continue to send progress reports halfway through each cycle, but RenWeb allows ongoing access to student: grades, conduct, and tardy/absence recordings. Teacher contact information is also available through the RenWeb system. Please use the link below for directions on how to set up a Parent RenWeb account if you do not currently have access.
Upcoming Holiday

Please note that excused absences will not be permitted for extended vacation times beyond the listed holiday.
Summer Programs
There are many opportunities for students to partake in during the summer. As we approach summer break, we will continue to update you on opportunities.
Tardy Policy
Our Tardy Policy is designed to ensure students are in class receiving their education. Excessive absence and tardiness to class disrupts the student’s learning. Please review the policy with your child, as we hold each student accountable for their consistent presence in class.
