Note from Jean Behnke
Dear Parents, 
 
Spring is in the air, and with it, we find new opportunities to “shake things up.” Last week I saw that in particular in science classes.
Admissions Update
Enrollment contracts for the 2021-2022 school year were already released to the majority of current families. Please let me know if you have any questions about this process. It is important that you enroll by the deadline of March 24 so that the admissions office is able to plan for new student enrollees. Financial aid recipients will receive contracts on April 5 with the return date being April 19. Thanks for your prompt attention to the contracts!
Health Office Updates
Spring Break: Return to School Information

We are so happy to hear of pandemic progress, but we still have a way to go before Crossroads can lift our restrictions.

In order to keep our community healthy and our school open, Crossroads will continue to require students, faculty, and staff to refrain from returning to school for 10 days if they travel outside of New England; exceptions are  noted in  our policy. 

Summer Updates
Greetings from Crossroads Summer Program!

I am excited to announce that Crossroads Academy will be offering another engaging and fun-filled eight-week summer program! Beginning the week of June 21, there will be a series of one-week programs offered for children ages 5-8 and 9-13. Crossroads faculty will offer a wide range of programs to discover new interests and deepen student learning. Interested in acting with Ms. Hickox? How about music exploration with Ms. O'Leary? While there are already many offerings listed on our website, new listings will be added regularly over the next few weeks. Daily programs run from 9:00AM to 3:30PM. Please note: Due to COVID restrictions, we will not be offering before and aftercare this summer. 
 
If you have any questions, you may contact me at summer@crossroadsacademy.org. Please share this information with your friends. Summer Programs are a great way for new families to experience Crossroads!
 
I look forward to sharing the summer with you! 
 
Heather Verheeck, Director of Summer Program
