High School Highlights
TUITION TICKETS AND SILENT AUCTION
We want to thank you all that have helped with baskets and donations for our Gala that is coming up this Saturday. You do NOT want to miss it, but if you can't come, you still can buy a tuition ticket for a chance to win $2,500 OFF your tuition bill. You can also bid on some great items online in our SILENT AUCTION. You do NOT have to be present to win.
Complete Gala details are online at www.silverdaleba.org/gala.
AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT NOTIFICATION
REMINDER: The convenience of automatic enrollment was live as of January 2018! Your child is now conveniently re-enrolled each year without lifting a finger. Should anything change, all you need to do is schedule an appointment with your child’s principal and complete a withdrawal form no later than March 15th.
The $240 re-enrollment fee will be billed to your account annually on March 16th.
Tuition will automatically be billed via RenWeb.
Failure to withdraw before March 15th will incur a 50% charge of the upcoming school year’s tuition.
Thank you for entrusting your child's education to us. We consider it a privilege to be part of your family's life!
“Apply thine heart unto instruction,
and thine ears to the words of knowledge.”
Proverbs 23:12
POWDERPUFF - POSTPONED
Details - Cost is $3 for everyone (Athletic Admission Passes are not accepted this night as this is a fundraiser.) Come out for this fun evening and watch the senior girls battle the freshman girls, the junior girls battle the sophomore girls, and the winners of each battle for the championship. The boys will cheer on the girls in each game, and then the boys will have a dance competition.
The Class of 2020 is selling videos of this year’s game for $10 each. The video will include all of the games and all of the dances so that each grade is represented.
