Prospective Families Are Invited! - Instead of our traditional Open House on the last Sunday in January, prospective families can register for a personal, on campus, one on one tour on Sunday, January 31, 2021. Tours can be scheduled from 9am to 3:30pm. Temperatures will be taken and masks are required. This is a great opportunity to see the school campus, classrooms and meet faculty and staff.
"Make Up/Retake" Individual Student Photos - Lifetouch Photography will be here on the morning of Monday, February 1 from 9-10:30 to take Make Up & Retake Individual Student Photos for students in PreKindergarten, Kindergarten - Grade 7 (PK3 and Grade 8 photos were taken by an alternate photographer). Students that need a retake photo should bring their original photo package. Students that were not present on picture day, (Monday, September 14, 2020) should have their picture taken even if no portrait package is being ordered since every student is featured in our annual yearbook and in this year's composite group photo that will be comprised of thumbnail photos of each student since social distancing protocol precludes traditional group photos this year. Students having their picture taken may wear their uniform of the day for the photo or bring an outfit to change into for their picture. Uniform of the day should be worn for the rest of the day.
