Looking Ahead
The school is a hub of activity. Shalom summer camps are in full swing. Our maintenance staff has been hard at work preparing the facilities for the coming year. Administration and office staff members are enjoying a more relaxed schedule, but are also busily preparing for faculty and students to return.
Our annual summer mailing will take place the week of July 24th. This will come in two parts--by email and by "snail" mail. These mailings will supply you with pertinent information for the coming school year.
Many stores are beginning their "back to school" sales for student school supplies. Our 2017-18 student supply list can be accessed on our website, www.shalomca.com. Click on the parents tab located on the blue bar at the top, then click on forms and documents. You will find the 2017-18 Student Supply List.
Student Fees
Beginning with the coming school year, fees for most field trips, class retreats and mini terms will be included in tuition.
1. Field trips: For trips costing over $10, the student would be asked to pay the difference.
2. Mini Terms (high school students): Students would pay for a mini term costing more than $25.
3. Junior class retreat will be paid out of the class fund. Destination must be approved by administration.
