Please check you availability for next Saturday’s (April 22^nd) Family Day of Service. We hope to see you between 10 and 12 for an Earth Day learning and service celebration. Your RSVP is greatly appreciated to help us plan for the events scheduled. We know this is a busy time of year but hope you can make some time to join us. Thanks to those families who have signed up on-line. The link is found below.

We enjoyed meeting our new kindergarten families this week at Kindergarten orientation. Please let your neighbors who have children turning 5 by September 1^{st know that kindergarten enrollment and registration have begun.}

Wishing a Happy Easter to our families who are celebrating Orthodox Easter this weekend. Greetings go out to those Rondout families who are continuing their observance of Ramadan which is expected to continue through the end of next week with the Eid al-Fitr celebration.

Starting next week, we will be reaching out to set up times to check in with families about their summer plans and to discuss some opportunities for keeping students connected with learning in fun and imaginative ways this summer. Look for the phone conference sign up later next week.

Please help us by getting your registration forms turned by the deadline. We’d love to have all our forms in early.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a great week ahead.
