Thank you to all for your support
Thank you to all who supported the wreath sale, which proceeds will fund the 8th grade gift this year, and Square 1 Art this year (in place of the Santa Shoppe this year). They were a huge success. Thank you to Marissa Ogden, Caroline Iannucci and all who helped coordinate these fundraisers. The wreath sale raised $3998.20 and Square 1 Art raised $3579.79 for the school. We appreciate all of your support!
Hot Lunch for Quarantine Families
When your child quarantines due to COVID 19, if you have ordered hot lunch, please go to your Boonli Hot Lunch account and cancel orders for dates that your child(ren) will not be in school. There is a 48 hour window to cancel. If the date window is “locked” it is too late to cancel.

Coming Soon: Online re-enrollment
We’ve been forced to catch up with the rest of the high tech world and will be moving to an online platform for re-enrollment. HOWEVER, in advance, we beg your patience. Because this is the first year of an online enrollment platform, a LOT of information will need to be input on the family side. You will see this in January, after Christmas break. The online FACTS platform will gather all of the same information that you needed to submit each year at re-registration, and it will likely treat you as a “new family” with regard to the amount of information that you would need to input. It will make your life better going forward, but it will be an effort this year!
