Sharing the Good News:
Prospective Family Outreach |
|
Dear Salisbury Academy Families,
November kicks off the 2018-2019 admission season. Year after year, our current families are our best resource for reaching new families. Thank you for sharing the good news about the amazing things happening at Salisbury Academy each day.
A visit to our campus is the best way to learn firsthand how SA's innovative approach to experiential learning nurtures curiosity, character, and community in each child. If you have friends interested in learning more about SA, regardless of their student's grade level, encourage them to attend an upcoming admission event, invite them to an athletic event, lunch-and-learn or chapel, or ask them to contact me to schedule a personal school tour.
Our first campus event of the year will be our Fall First Look on Wednesday, November 1 at 9:00 a.m. This open house highlights junior kindergarten through first grade.
With record enrollment over the last several years, we hope to provide families who are interested in early childhood education at SA with an early look at the admissions process and our engaging classroom environment.
Thank you for partnering with us here at school and throughout the community. It is an exciting time to be a Jaguar!
Sincerely,
|
|
Look for your new Salisbury Academy car magnet in your child's Monday folder tomorrow!

We do this so that our children can attend this great school, and that tells you how much we love the school and staff members of SA. We love Salisbury Academy!"
