Congratulations to the 5th graders who participated in the talent show! Whether you were backstage crew or a talent act, your hard work paid off with a fabulous show! You showed your talents with comedy, dancing, musical instruments, painting/drawing!!

Updates are made weekly to this newsletter!! Please review so all 5th grade students and families are IN THE KNOW!!

Pre-Registration will be open June 1st through Friday, July 31st.

We encourage families to fill out their pre-registration forms as soon as possible, as there is limited space at the start of the school year. We will increase our enrollment capacities based on our staffing structures. To qualify to pre-register, all balances from the 2022-2023 school year must be paid in full. If there is a balance from the 2022-2023 school year, it must be paid prior to July 31st, otherwise your student will be removed from pre-registration and won’t be eligible to enroll until payment is received; pending enrollment and staffing capacities.

Although we rarely have waitlists, pre-registration allows us to ensure quality staffing for when programming opens. If your student switches schools during pre-registration, their schedule will be guaranteed at their new school. School transfers after July 31st will be accommodated based on availability and staff capacity.

Scholarship applications are also being accepted at this time. If you need tuition assistance, please complete the scholarship application as soon as possible. As a reminder, scholarships are awarded annually and are not guaranteed from one year to the next. Scholarships will be awarded to families by August 11th.

Tuition Assistance Application.
