Stratton Mountain School Newsletter
Dear Parents, 
We look forward to welcoming you to campus in a few short weeks! We are hard at work here at SMS in preparation for the 2018-2019 school year. On June 26th, we sent a newsletter that introduced you to our new online registration platform, Family ID. Thank you to those of you who have registered already on Family ID. We will be using this site for school forms, permissions, and camp registrations. This will simplify and improve how we share information with you this year.
If you haven’t done so already, please be sure to create an account on Family ID using the link below. Your input will help us to assign advisors and roommates, and we will need your medical and travel forms prior to any organized training or trips. Please complete all of the Family ID forms by August 1st.
Thank you,
Holly Wendell
