Dear Upper School Families,
I hope you are enjoying your summer. I know that all of us at St. Andrew’s are looking forward to beginning the school year on September 3 and all the opportunities for us to connect with you between now and then, including the virtual Upper School Town Hall on July 8.
Below are a list of important events to be aware of for both students and parents as well as reminders about forms that need to be submitted and signed before the start of the school year.
Virtual Parent Town Hall
We hope parents will join us on Monday, July 8 from 10 - 10:45 a.m. for this opportunity to hear about our hopes and expectations for the start of the 2024-2025 school year and to discuss the on-campus opportunities we expect to provide this year.
To submit a question for the Town Hall, click here. You can join the Town Hall via this Zoom link and the meeting ID is 917 8873 5182 with the Passcode 531684. The Zoom will be recorded and shared later this summer.
Health Forms/Orientation
In order for students to take part in Orientation, all required health forms and health information must be completed and submitted via Magnus Health. To access Magnus Health go to saes.org, and login to the website. Once there click on Resources and then select the Magnus Health Center icon. These health forms are due on August 8. In May, a virtual Q&A was held via Zoom for questions about Magnus Health. Click here to view it.
US Summer Reading, Summer Assignments and School Supply Lists
You can find summer assignments and school supply lists for all Upper School grades on the school's website. The virtual bookstore will open on July 22 and there is free shipping from July 29 - August 4 for orders of more than $150. More information on book ordering will come later this summer.
Back-to-School Forms Page
Be sure to check our Back-to-School Forms page and complete and return all requested forms to St. Andrew's by the indicated due dates.

Please register early to ensure a spot for your child. This year's shuttle bus registration will close on August 1, 2024.
