But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, 

a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies

of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 

I Peter 2:9

Dear Prince Families:

Five weeks of school remain, and this week middle school has standardized testing (parents, please partner with us by ensuring good sleep cycles and healthy breakfasts). Please take a moment to look at our busy calendar here to ensure you note any important end-of-year assemblies, awards ceremonies, fine arts or athletic events (we pack more into these final five weeks than any calendar is designed to hold, but we wouldn’t have it any other way)!



In His service,

Col Seth Hathaway, Ed.D.

Important Morning Car Line & Campus Safety Reminders

Parents, the safety of our students is our top priority. Recently, we have noticed some concerning trends during morning drop-off that need to be corrected immediately. Please review these critical campus reminders:

• Wait for Supervision (7:45 AM): For your child's safety, do not let students out of your car before 7:45 AM. Teachers must be present and on duty before students can be released from vehicles and walk to the building.

• Ruth Jackson Entrances: After 7:40 AM, the first two campus entrances are EXIT ONLY.

• Middle School Drop-Off: Please use the 3rd entrance for the Middle School car line and proceed around the building. Do not drop students off in the Employee Only parking lot.



Please be on the lookout for a detailed email, being sent out tomorrow morning. Thank you for your full cooperation in helping us keep our students and campus safe!
