SHARE YOUR CHRISTMAS FOOD DRIVE
Every year, we partner with the Chattanooga Area Food Bank to help feed those in need throughout the winter season. This year is no exception. We have ONLY TWO WEEKS to make this huge project a reality.
Please start bringing in those canned food items. We do ask that you stick strictly to cans for this Food Drive. There are many coupons in local newspapers and elsewhere to help with this service project.
You can also send in a check for $10-$20 or more. Checks are to be made payable to SBA. Make sure it is in an envelope with your child's name on it so they can receive credit. The class from each school with the most raised will receive a special prize and a dress down day will be given for 10 cans or $10. We ask that each child try and bring in 10-20 cans.
It is truly life-changing for those in need and we appreciate your support.
AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT
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.”

Students who do not provide this will need to pay gate admission.
