Taste of Saint Mark's!
Parent Visit Day
The Home and School Association invites everyone to our next Parent Visit Day on Wednesday, February 14. This time we'll meet in the school's library on the second floor after morning drop off. Enjoy coffee and treats while learning about this great St Mark's resource! Parents, grandparents and younger siblings are then welcome to visit the classrooms. Please come check out this fun new event, and if you know anyone who should know more about us, please bring them, too! Hope to see you there!
CCW Spring Luncheon
The CCW would like to invite all school moms to the Spring Luncheon at Town and Country Club on April 7th. The day includes a silent auction from 11-12:30pm with a luncheon and program to follow at 1:00pm. This years' theme is "Celebrations to Remember" and will feature Soile Anderson, author and chef, and Eleanor Ostman, former food writer for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. They will be sharing party ideas and fabulous
food tips.

Financial Aid and 2018/19 Enrollment Information
Financial aid applications are open for the 2018-19 school year. The deadline for applications is coming up very soon, next Thursday February 15th. You will need your 2016 taxes in order to apply. Please complete your application on TADS and complete enrollment for 18-19 - by clicking the ‘enrollment’ tab in your TADS account. Click each child’s name to complete their registration.
Need-based financial aid will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to returning students. While we have more aid to give than previously, two of our sources (Aim Higher and CSAF) give recipient schools less liberty with the funds now, so it is important for families to complete their application by February 15th.
Financial aid is available for preschoolers expected to enter kindergarten at Saint Mark's in the fall of 2019 - see grant interface below to apply.
For more information about the Aim Higher scholarship, please see the mailchimp flyer below.
Enrollment for 2018-19 is now open! Information was emailed on January 15th.
Preschoolers returning to preschool- please see myTADS.com below.
Preschoolers entering Kindergarten, and students entering grades 1-8, please check your email for your re-enrollment link, or log in to your TADS account and click the ‘enrollment’ tab.
