We Love Grandparents!
Have your child's grandparents joined MacLaren's GrandPartners Club? GrandPartners receive updates on school happenings and invitations to special events. It's a great way for grandparents near and far, and adults filling grandparent roles, to feel more connected to their grandchild's school life.

CORRECTION: Pack Slippers or Fuzzy Socks –Thursday, February 20
February Festival returns to Lower School, bringing winter-themed whimsy to Lower School classrooms. Please send your child to school in normal uniform shoes but with a pair of slippers or fuzzy socks in his or her backpack to change into. *For K-2 students, if your child has Velcro or slip-on tennis shoes, please send those on this day. This will make changing in and out of slippers much more manageable!
