This week is our Garden Work Day! 

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up. If anyone else wants to join us on Friday, August 26th, from 8:30-11:30 a.m. for our Garden Work Day, please RSVP to volunteer by clicking here.

You are welcome to come for all or part of the time. We will primarily be pulling weeds and amending the soil. No experience necessary!  

Some garden tools are available, but we encourage you to bring your own (gloves and hand tools.) We will meet at the school gardens - located behind the Early Years building at the base of the upper meadow. Light refreshments will be provided. 

Thank you and we hope to see you there!  

-Ms. Saiz

Environmental Sustainability Teacher and Coordinator

• K-8 morning carpool ends at 8:30 a.m.. If you arrive after 8:30 a.m., please check your child(ren) in at the Academic Office in the Early Years building.
• Pre-K Rooster drop-offs between 8:30-8:45 a.m. need to be walked into the Rooster room.
• Regular Pre-K drop-off begins at 8:45 a.m. and ends at 9:00 a.m. If you arrive after 9:00 a.m., please check your child(ren) in at the Academic Office in Early Years building. 
• Please follow the directions of the person directing center traffic. If you are instructed to stop, please remain stopped and do not proceed until instructed to do so. Please do not speed up to make it through the center intersection. Everyone should be driving slow enough that you should not require time to stop.
• If you need to check out your child, please do so prior to 2:30 p.m.
• Please do not arrive prior to 3:00 p.m. Classes will still be moving from building to building during this time. Early arrivals not only pose many safety issues and concerns, but blocking traffic also hinders maneuverability in and around campus (for instance, deliveries, parents, volunteers, and staff who need access to their car to leave). It also blocks public traffic on Willeo Rd. Access to and around our campus must be kept accessible as mandated by the Fire Marshall.

Please join us for Back to School Night. We will begin both evenings by gathering in the Community Center. Then you will have an opportunity to join teachers in their classrooms to learn more about the ins and outs of your child's particular classes. You'll learn everything from class routines and schedules to volunteer opportunities. You will leave the night well informed and connected to others. See you there!

When:

Lower Years - Thursday, September 1 at 6:00 p.m.

Middle Years - Wednesday, September 7 at 6:00 p.m.
