Early August 2014
Welcome!
In This Issue:

Alhamdullilah, with your support, we were able to expand one of our Montessori classrooms! Now that construction and touch up paints around the school are nearly done, we have a lot of cleaning up to do and could use your help. We especially need help moving large pieces of furniture. If you are free to help on Tuesday, August 12, please let us know! Refreshments will be provided.
Documents to Turn In

Aside from TADS enrollment, you also need to complete a few documents for your children. Please be sure to have these done and turned in to us by
August 25 at latest via mail, fax, or scan and email:

Physical Examination (with hearing/vision screening for students ages 4+)

- Updated immunization records

Automatic Tuition Withdrawal form (if paying via option IV) with void check

Spirit Shirts

You can now purchase your child(ren)'s spirit shirts for this year via the TADS online enrollment module. Shirts will not be sold again later so your deadline to purchase shirts is by August 15, which is when the enrollment forms are due. Spirit shirts are required for Montessori, elementary, and middle school students. 
Final Report Cards & Stanford Scores
second

You should have received your child(ren)'s 2013-2014 final report cards and Stanford test scores (for elementary and middle school students only) towards the end of July. If you did not for any reason, please contact us to make sure your home address is up to date and we will email you copies of the documents.

Enrollment Completion 

You have received your TADS enrollment codes and an email from the school detailing what TADS enrollment is and how to go about the process. Please be sure to complete your children's enrollment by
Friday, August 15.

Montessori Orientation & New Student Testing

Please save the date of Tuesday, August 19 at 10am if you have new incoming Montessori students (this includes all Montessori level 1-3 students who have not been enrolled in our Montessori program in the past) or newly enrolling 1st-7th graders (who have not attended ILM Academy in the past). The Montessori students will be introduced to their teachers and will have the opportunity to grow comfortable with the classroom environment prior to the first day of school. The 1st-7th graders will be tested as a follow up to their interviews conducted earlier in the summer or last semester.
School Supplies 
third

To save costs for the school and families alike, ILM Academy will not be asking parents to purchase school supplies for each of their students this year. Instead, we have incorporated a school supply fee of $30 per student on the TADS enrollment module, with which we will purchase school supply items in bulk for each student. 

Back to School Night

In previous years, we have held a Registration Open House in the week before school starting so parents can see the school and turn in registration paperwork. In the past, this has been difficult on parents to attend as many families are still out of town in the week prior to school starting and also we have moved registration paperwork online. Therefore, we will instead have a Back to School Night on Wednesday, August 27 at 6pm so parents can come in to meet their students' teachers and see the classrooms at that time. Additionally, we will also have a policy presentation to go over revisions to our handbook and other helpful information. 
ECC Enrollment Options

If you are an ECC parent and have not already done so, please email us your ECC enrollment choice for this year. Please refer to the email we sent you on Wednesday titled "Select ECC Enrollment Option by August 8."
Contact Info Changes?

If your address, phone number, email, or any other contact information changes over the summer, please keep us informed via a quick email to us so we can keep your family's records up to date.
