Ordering Hot Lunch for this Year
Check FACTS on your parent portal to find out your child’s homeroom and then refer to this letter to set up your lunch account in Boonli to order hot lunch. The start date for hot lunch will be visible within the ordering page.
First Days of School
We look forward to beginning with our incoming students on August 26! Mark your calendars for Back to School Night which will be an opportunity to meet everyone and hear from your child’s teacher: September 3 (Preschool through 5th) and September 5 (Gr. 6-8)
Our first day of school is a half day for Gr. 1-8 with dismissal at Noon. Preschool and Kindergarten have a separate schedule which will be communicated to you by the teachers.
Being Prepared for School
It’s now time to pull out the red, white, black, or navy school socks, schedule those back-to-school haircuts (hair should be natural color), remove nail polish and freshen up your plaid jumpers and skirts! Help us get the small things in order so we can be about the bigger business of learning and growing from the first days of school. Please especially review the following pages of our 2024-2025 Parent Handbook to refresh your memory on the following topics:
Mission, Educational Philosophy & Beliefs – p. 7
Attendance Policy – p.18-25
Discipline & Conduct – p. 31
Uniform – p. 41-44
Curriculum & Homework – pp. 46-48
Communication – pp. 58-61
Student Medications at School
If your child needs medication during the school day (this includes pain medications, cough drops/medicine – any over the counter medications), Mrs. Kloenne and Kim DuPlessis will be in the Front Office on the first day of school to receive the medication and paperwork.

UPDATED ~ Junior Great Books
From Marie Dimelow: around 75 Junior Great Books invites were sent out to the families of students nominated by their teachers. Please check your spam folders/ emails and promptly answer. It would be lovely and helpful. I am hoping to get those JGB groups finalized by early September, and need everyone to submit their enrollment to JGB by 08/31/24. THANK YOU!
